Liverpool could on the lookout for a new winger this summer, especially if Mohamed Salah decides against signing a new contract, which would bring his illustrious spell at Anfield to a close.

Mohamed Salah touched the ball just 23 times during Liverpool 1-2 Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final. The Egyptian was nullified but showed why a new deal is a must.

For Mohamed Salah, a scorer of 32 goals in what looks to be a record-breaking campaign for Liverpool, that was again the case in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle United. For a forward who is on his way to recording one of the greatest individual seasons of all time in the Premier League came the anomaly of Wembley: a match where the 32-year-old did not have a shot or create a chance in Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat.
