Salah acknowledged he was yet to figure out his new team-mates, with him playing alongside Arne Slot's new attacking signings Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak.Speaking to the Men In Blazers podcast, the forward pinpointed an issue with Ekitike, and the rest of his new teammates, explaining he would require time to gel with them.“So far, I didn't figure the connections out yet,” said Salah.

I knew their game very well but with Hugo he's still new.“Sometimes I need the ball in the field.
