The Egyptian King has signed a new, two-year deal at Anfield, meaning he's now in a position to enhance an already stellar legacy

 'More in than out'?! You've got to hand it to the marketing and social media teams at Liverpool. They've got a cheeky sense of humour. And at least everyone involved in the painfully protracted negotiations over Mohamed Salah's contract extension can laugh about it all now.

 There was, of course, always the expectation that Salah would end up staying at Liverpool. When he says he loves the club, and the city, he really means it. "I have had the best years of my career," he told the Reds' official website after signing his new, two-year deal. "I'm enjoying my life here, I'm enjoying my football. My family also feels at home.

"It's a special moment always when you play at Anfield. There is no place like it. The warmth you feel inside. The song before the game. Everything about it, every time you score a goal and they sing my song, it's something special.

 "And the story will continue..."

Which is obviously just as well for Liverpool's owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), and sporting director Richard Hughes, as they'd have had to deal with the most bitter backlash from the fans if they'd lost one of the greatest players in the club's history for nothing.
