Mohamed Salah new season truth clear as contract stand-off could turn in Liverpool's favour
If the history of Mohamed Salah's career has taught one thing, it's that the Liverpool star is often at his best when there is something to prove.
His arrival at Anfield itself, back in the summer of 2017, is proof enough of that. After failing to make the grade during a limited spell at Chelsea, Salah returned to the Premier League as a Reds player ready to give English football a better insight into his true capabilities.
"Even if I see myself playing very well in one thing, I try to improve to do it better and better," he said when asked if he had a point to make in England after signing for Liverpool. "I always think about the small details because I need to improve more and more."

With the general perception of him from that failed spell in west London still fuelling him to an extent, Salah's first campaign was an otherworldly one at Anfield. His 44 goals helped Jurgen Klopp's men re-establish themselves as a European force before they fell at the last hurdle in the Champions League final to Real Madrid in 2018.
That haul remains the biggest of Liverpool's 21st century and again, with the burning sense of injustice the year previous, Salah's goals would once more propel Klopp's side to the European Cup showpiece before they went on to lift the trophy for a sixth time in Madrid in 2019.
The following year, Salah was Liverpool's top marksman for a third straight season as he helped eradicate the Premier League disappointment of a 97-point campaign that only brought a silver medal by ending a 30-year wait for that mythical 19th championship.

Juventus 'want' Roberto Firmino Liverpool 'swap deal' involving £17m midfielder
Juventus would want Roberto Firmino in any swap deal with Liverpool for Adrien Rabiot, according to a new report.
It was reported earlier this week by Calciomercato that Liverpool could offer Naby Keita to Juventus as part of a straight swap for fellow midfielder Rabiot.
But now another Italian outfit, CMW, claim that the Serie A giants could ask for Firmino to be the player included instead in any exchange for the France international.
Rabiot has been linked with a move away from Juventus this summer and the Telegraph reported that Liverpool are one of the Premier League clubs he would interested in signing for.
