Mo Salah is back, better and hungrier than ever…and full of desire to atone for the heartbreak in the final two matches of last season.
That is the view of manager Jurgen Klopp, who believes the new contract his star player finally signed in the summer, after a year of tortuous negotiation, has removed the cloud of uncertainty that inevitably hung over his team.
Salah became the highest paid player in Anfield history when he agreed the new, highly incentivised deal worth potentially around £400,000 a week, and Klopp believes that gave everyone at the club a huge lift - including the Egyptian King himself.
