Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has opened up about Mohamed Salah’s behavior on the pitch. The Hungarian revealed that the Egyptian always demands the ball, even in tight spaces, and has praised his impact on and off the pitch.
Liverpool put in another scintillating performance as they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 6-3 in the Premier League this weekend (December 22). Mohamed Salah stole the show with a mesmerizing performance, with two goals and as many assists.
After the match, Dominik Szoboszlai was asked about Mohamed Salah and the midfielder made an interesting revelation about the Egyptian’s behavior on the pitch.
‘You should know that Mo is always shouting your name, even [when] he’s not free, he’s screaming your name, so you have to [pass to him]!” he said to Stadion Astro.
“You can see that he does his job every game, scores goals and provides assists. [He] helps us every time with everything, not only on the field but also off the field, so yes, we are just happy to have him,” the Hungarian added.
It goes without saying that Mohamed Salah remains the go-to man in this Liverpool team. The Egyptian has been arguably the best player in the Premier League since the start of the 2024/25 season, leaving fans impressed with his consistent performances.
So far, the Egyptian forward has made 24 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions, recording 18 goals and 15 assists and contributing a whopping 33 goals in total. He made history with his 15 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League, becoming the first player to score 10 or more goals and assist every time before Christmas.
Meanwhile, Dominik Szoboszlai has also had a promising spell in the Reds’ midfield this season. The Hungarian has made 23 appearances for the club in all competitions, netting three goals and four assists.
Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool is still subject to speculation
Mohamed Salah’s contract situation at Liverpool is no secret. The Egyptian appears to be closing in on the exit route from Anfield. His current contract with the Reds expires in July, meaning he will be free to begin negotiations with suitors after the New Year.
As it stands now, there are no concrete developments that indicate that the attacker will sign a new contract at Anfield. Instead, reports continue to link him with a move away from the club, with a move to Saudi Arabia heavily touted.
According to GOAL, Al Ittihad have expressed interest in signing the forward in a deal that could be worth as much as £215 million. However, contrary to that report, ESPN has claimed that Salah could be open to signing a new contract with the club. It remains to be seen what the future holds for the player.
