Roy Keane has praised Mohamed Salah after the Liverpool star signed a new contract at Anfield.

The Reds forward put pen to paper on a new two-year deal which will extend his stay at the Merseyside club to a decade.

The news put an end to speculation over his future at Liverpool amid another stellar campaign.



Salah has scored 32 goals in all competitions this season, with his performances putting Arne Slot's side on the verge of Premier League glory.

And former Manchester United midfielder Keane has praised Salah for his impact on English football's top-flight.

The Egyptian stands third on the all-time Liverpool goalscorers list with 243 in 394 appearances so far.

"We see him doing it week in, week out, scoring the goals, assists and the difference would be if you put him in the Arsenal team they would win the league - that's how special he is," Keane told Sky Sports.

"I'm kind of glad they got the deal done, you want the top players in the Premier League.

But if you look at the other 89 minutes, he is such an important player for us.

"Let's hope he can do the same - I just hope with Mo and he can do the same on Sunday again, being our leader again as he has always been this season, against West Ham."
