Cody Gakpo netted the equalizer for Liverpool against Brighton, with the 32-year-old Salah securing the victory to the Reds to the top of the English Premier League table.

"Top of the table is where this club belongs. Nothing less. All teams win matches, but there's only one champion in the end. That's what we want," Salah posted on his X account on Sunday, expressing his ambitions for the season.

"Thank you for your support last night," he added.

Liverpool is currently in negotiations with Salah to extend his contract, which is set to expire at the end of the ongoing season.

However, an agreement has not been reached as speculations about Salah's potential departure persist.
