The former winger told TNT Sports: “I think he gives Liverpool balance. Whether he has a good game or a bad game is a talking point, but when he was at AFCON, Liverpool really missed him, they were very lopsided.“He wants to play on the right, so when he plays and when he scores and when he stars in the game, Liverpool are a much, much better side when he's in it than when he's not. So I think relationships are fine and I think hopefully we'll see the best out of him now for the rest of the season.”Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingWhile Salah is expected to remain in his current surroundings until the summer, if not beyond, it could be that Liverpool welcome fresh faces through the doors before the winter recruitment deadline passes.Quizzed on his plans for the final hours of the window, with speculation continuing to rage on the back of a record-breaking spending spree from the Reds in the summer of 2025, Slot told reporters after witnessing a welcome win over Newcastle: “I think there’s always a lot of talks about Liverpool and a lot of talks about Liverpool players.
