The basis for that theory is that Salah's output has dipped in recent weeks (he is without a goal from open play in eight games), and Keys believes the 32-year-old's goal drought was triggered by him putting pen to paper on a new deal at Anfield.

An announcement on Van Dijk's new deal, which is also expected to tie him to the club until 2027, should come this week
