Salah shined in Egypt’s first victory in World Cup qualifying

Liverpool’s talisman, 31, has been back to his best in front of goal this season and has scored 10 goals in just 12 matches – more than half the total (19) he scored in the Premier League. Premier League for the entire 2022/23 campaign.

He scored four goals in Egypt’s 6-0 win over Djibouti in Cairo to maintain his recent form, which vindicated Liverpool’s decision to turn down a huge £150m transfer offer from Saudi Pro League for this potential striker in the summer. But although the offer was rejected, the former Chelsea and AS Roma star’s long-term future remains uncertain.

It is predicted that ambitious clubs from the Middle East will again try to lure Salah away from Anfield next summer and as a result, the Red Devils and Jurgen Klopp already have a succession plan in place.

Although it remains to be seen whether Sane is ready for such a move, he continues to make headlines in the Bundesliga and has struck up an impressive partnership with England captain Harry Kane.

Kane, who joined the German giants in a £100million deal from Liverpool this summer, praised Sane at the weekend after Bayern’s 2-2 draw with Heidenheim. “He has great speed and great strength,” Kane told Der Rekordmeister, via Get German Football News , at the weekend. “Leroy has probably been our best player so far this season. He’s amazing.

“Even today, when the score was 2-2, I still had the feeling that he was the player who would lift us up again. He is an important player for us with his skills. Today he made two assists for me again, which was great. I hope we will keep this connection.”
