""Mohamed is a great, great professional," he told BBC Sport. "I look to him as an example. "You can see how much he is involved in goals and assists. "He is a legend here. To share the pitch is a blessing. That's the kind of player who makes us like to watch football.""
""I really enjoy my life here. "I have great team-mates, good staff, great fans. "They give me so much love, so I try to give it back. The best way is to score goals, be involved and win games.""

Mohamed Salah returned to Arne Slot's squad and came on as a first-half substitute to set up Ekitike's second goal in a 2-0 win over Brighton, reaching a new Premier League record of 277 goal involvements with one club. Hugo Ekitike opened the scoring after 46 seconds, the earliest Liverpool league goal since 2019 and the fastest so far this Premier League season. Ekitike became the youngest player since Michael Owen in 2001 to score two or more goals in consecutive Premier League matches. Ekitike praised Salah, said he enjoys life at Liverpool, credited teammates, staff and fans, and has seven goals in his first ten Premier League starts.
