Glenn Hoddle says Mohamed Salah signing a new contract would give Liverpool irresistible momentum in their bid for Champions League glory and the quadruple.
The Kop's Egyptian king will be 30 this summer, and Mirror Football understands Salah is close to agreeing terms worth upwards of £400,000-a-week on a new deal at Anfield. Former England manager Hoddle, picking out England's three remaining clubs in the Champions League as the likeliest winners of the trophy, believes keeping Salah would provide Liverpool with high-octane rocket fuel for the run-in.
Asked to pick his European Cup winner from the usual cast of suspects, BT Sport pundit Hoddle admitted: “It's a really close call - I can see any of the three English teams winning it. They are the three strongest sides in the final eight. Manchester City fascinate me because, so far, they have had a mental block in the Champions League. They had a great opportunity last year, but Pep probably picked the wrong team in the final.
