Mohamed Salah sets ambitious Liverpool target
Mohamed Salah sets ambitious Liverpool target. Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has revealed he hates the notion that Liverpool are ‘underdogs’ in the Premier League title race and insists his aim this season is to everything.
The 32-year-old has made an electrifying start to the 2024/25 campaign, reinforcing his status as one of the best wingers in the world.
Salah’s eight goals in Liverpool’s first 11 Premier League games of the season have helped fired the club top of the table, establishing a five-point lead over Manchester City who are placed second on the Premier League table.
Uncertainty over Salah’s long-term future has dominated headlines over the past few months, with his contract up at the end of the season, but the Egyptian is fully focused on winning trophies at Liverpool and insists that Arne Slot’s side should not be underestimated.
“Win it all. In my opinion, I work so hard every day, I hate the idea that we are underdogs,” Salah told the club’s YouTube show Reds Roundtable of his ambitions.
“We have an incredible group … In each position, you’re gonna find players that are really one of the top three in the world.
“So, why we don’t win it? This city and this club has to always fight for everything.”
Liverpool have also made a strong start in the Champions League, winning their opening four games of the revamped league phase. The six-time winners currently sit top of the 36-team table, with AC Milan, Bologna, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen amongst those to have come up short against Slot’s ever-improving side.
Salah is currently away with Egypt on international duty, preparing to take part in Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Cape Verde and Botswana.
Southampton will be his first opponent when the Premier League returns, three days before a huge Champions League clash with 15-time winners, Real Madrid.
