At the moment Salah's contract impasse is not having an impact on the pitch but fans are aware of the situation bubbling in the background

Mbeumo, who Brentford reportedly value at £50m, does not take as many shots as Salah but is a hugely efficient finisher. The 25-year-old has already scored eight Premier League goals this season and is ready for a move to a top six club.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot dismissed the idea that Salah is distracted by contract talks, backed up by the fact he has scored 12 goals in 18 games already this campaign.
