Liverpool welcomed Newcastle United to Anfield last night. The Reds won the aforementioned Premier League fixture 3-1.

Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah performed very well against the Magpies. The Egyptian international scored a goal and registered a WhoScored player rating of 7.19 against Newcastle United.

With that being the case, former England international Gary Lineker took to Twitter during the match to praise Salah.

Love watching @MoSalah play. Wonderfully imaginative footballer who plays with a smile on his face….then again, so would I if I was that good.

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

We completely agree with Lineker's assessment of Salah. The winger is a world-class footballer.

Liverpool signed Salah from Roma for a transfer fee of €42 million back in the summer of 2017. Since then, the Egyptian international has gone on to score 147 goals and register 56 assists in 226 appearances for the club's first-team.

Salah's contract expires in the summer of 2023. It has been reported that talks between the forward and the club regarding a new deal are underway.

Hopefully both parties can reach an agreement sooner rather than later. We don't want to see the club lose Salah, as he is a world-class player.
