London: Mohamed Salah dropped another hint that his future could lie away from Liverpool as the Egypt star said he would be happy "wherever I am going to end my career" after starring in Sunday's 6-3 demolition of Tottenham. Salah scored twice and provided two assists in the goal-spree in north London as Liverpool moved four points clear at the top of the Premier League. The 32-year-old is the first Premier League player to bag at least 10 goals and 10 assists before Christmas, while his brace also took him into fourth place on Liverpool's all-time list of scorers with 229 in all competitions.

Salah's immense value to Arne Slot's team is clear, but Liverpool have been unable to persuade the forward to sign a new contract as speculation mounts about his future. With Salah's current deal expiring at the end of this season, he will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club from January. Having already made several comments earlier this season about this potentially being his last campaign with Liverpool, Salah once again made a cryptic reference to his future.

"It's great to achieve that at such a big club, but the most important thing is that we won the game. Wherever I am going to end my career I am happy about it," Salah told Sky Sports. Salah added that there was "no update" on his contract situation, but Slot will surely be desperate to extend his talisman's seven-year stay on Merseyside after he took his goal tally to 18 in all competitions this term.
