Klopp: Salah is full of energy and activity after extending the contract and will shine in the new season

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp expects the Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah to shine in the new season after extending his contract with the club for a long time, saying that he is full of energy and activity and will shine in the new season.

Salah extended his contract with the Merseyside club for three years last July, after he scored 31 goals last season, during which Liverpool won the FA and League Cups.

"His form is really good and of course he is happy to continue here," Klopp told reporters ahead of his team's first game of the new season in the Premier League against newly promoted Fulham later in the day.

Klopp confirmed that he did not actually feel that the subject of the contract had a significant negative impact on Salah's focus, who performed an outstanding performance throughout the preparation period for the new season.

Salah also participated with the Egyptian national team in the African Nations Cup, and then he played a long season at the age of 30, but Klopp confirms that he will return to his former glory again.

"After a few weeks' holiday, Salah is full of energy and activity again," Klopp added. "He performed strongly throughout the pre-season, and we hope that this brilliance will continue for a long time."

With the departure of Senegalese striker Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich, the German champions, Salah will be under more pressure to lead the front line of Liverpool, which was strengthened by the inclusion of striker Darwin Nunez from Uruguay.

In the Premier League, Liverpool finished last season in second place, one point behind Manchester City, who won the title.
