WHA GAKPO SAID
Speaking to the club's official website, Gakpo sent out a message to Salah, revealing his hope he will stay at Liverpool in the long term: "It's very special what we are all witnessing. The amount of goals he scores but the assists he gives as well, the way he plays the game, how he puts other attacking players or midfielders like myself in a position to score and to be dangerous is from a high level.
"I hope for us and for him that he can continue doing that for a long time. We are very lucky to have him and proud that we can be his teammate and try to make him better. And he is trying to make us better as well."
