Make no mistake, Mohamed Salah signing a new deal with Liverpool is great news for everyone involved in the club.
Despite negotiations being protracted, the speed at which a deal has been finalised following the unwanted exit of Sadio Mane is a relief for supporters who, while backing evolution, feared that the Reds' formidable forward line could be breaking up completely.
Jurgen Klopp still has a whole host of attacking talent at his disposal and has recently reinforced it with the capture of Benfica goal machine Darwin Nunez, but the bottom-line is that Salah has been Liverpool's primary source of goals for the past five years. The new deal hasn't come cheap, but when you're dealing with a player of the stock of the 30-year-old, that was always going to be the case.
