Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has signed a long-term contract extension at the club, the Premier League side said on Friday.
"I feel great and (I am) excited to win trophies with the club. It's a happy day for everyone," Salah said in a statement on the club website. "It takes a little bit of time, I think, to renew, but now everything is done so we just need to focus on what's next.
"I think you can see in the last five or six years the team was always going (upwards). Last season we were close to winning four, but unfortunately in the last week of the season we lost two trophies."

Liverpool have been in negotiations with Mo Salah over his future for months.
The Egyptian star has given several hints about his desire to stay at the trophy-winning English heavyweights, but nothing was confirmed.
Salah led Liverpool to their first Premier League title in over 30 years in 2020, scoring 44 goals in the process.
The 30-year-old has scored more than 150 goals for the club since joining from AS Roma in 2017.
