Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson believes Salah is “almost impossible to replace” and hopes they “can get a deal done” on a new contract.

“I give credit to Mo Salah. There are a lot of rumors about him, but like a true professional, he puts his head down and continues to perform,” Johnson said.

“We saw a lot of players thinking they weren’t going to get a new contract and sulking and throwing their toys out of the pram. It’s good that he didn’t do this.

“He’s still a world class player, isn’t he? If you lose him, he’ll be nearly impossible to replace, and you certainly don’t want to be the player trying to replace him, that’s for sure.

“I hope they can get a deal done. I know he’s getting old, but he’s still delivering his performances and there aren’t many people around better than him at the moment.”
