Robbie Fowler urges Liverpool to cherish Salah after latest heroics
Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has urged Mohamed Salah to sign a new contract with the club following his match-winning performance against Newcastle on Wednesday. Salah played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s 3-1 victory at St James’ Park, contributing an assist for Curtis Jones’ equalizer and scoring twice to put his team ahead. His 12th and 13th goals of the season have now pushed him ahead of Erling Haaland in the Premier League’s top scorer race.
Although goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher made a late error that allowed Newcastle to equalize, Salah’s performance remained the standout, continuing his crucial role in Liverpool’s push for the title. Fowler believes that the Egyptian’s display further strengthens his case for a new contract and called for Salah and his agent to act quickly.
“Mohamed Salah was unbelievable in the second half,” said Fowler. “He was a little quiet in the first half but was class after the interval. His stats and data are incredible. His agent should be there first thing in the morning to get him to sign that contract. He is the kind of player who can change a game and has exceptional moments that make him a match winner.”
Fowler’s comments echo the sentiment of Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who also expressed his hope for Salah’s long-term future at the club. “Every time we need Mo Salah, he scores a goal,” Slot said. “We hope and expect he can continue this for a long time. He was outstanding in the second half and did many special things for us.”
With Salah continuing to deliver crucial performances, the call for a new contract has never been more urgent, as both fans and the club recognize his vital role in their ongoing success.
