Liverpool midfielder, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has said the players would be more pleased now that Mohamed Salah has penned a new contract with the club.

Salah signed a new contract extension with the club last week to end speculation about his future and become the club’s highest-paid player.

As posted on the club’s website, the English Footballer explained that: “Yeah, he’s had us waiting for a while hasn’t he! I’m delighted for him, I know what he’s like as a guy. I’m sure for him to sign he is very happy being here and he’ll be very content with everything, so as a friend, I’m a good friend of Mo’s, I’m really happy that he’s comfortable and that he has got what he wants.

“And for Liverpool it is an amazing thing for us to have someone like Mo commit his future. We know how big a part of this team he has been for years now and I think everyone would know how big of a part of the team he would be for the next God knows how many years.

“He is one of them, he could decide how long he wants to go on for I think. So it’s really good news and obviously for us as players it is exciting to have someone like that stick with us and someone we’ve shared those memories with, hopefully being able to share more with.”
