Arne Slot has described Mo Salah as a 'physical freak' to explain why Liverpool gave the Egyptian legend a bumper deal to stay at Anfield until his 35th birthday.
Salah will get a hero's welcome from The Kop on Sunday in his first game since signing a two-year contract extension following months of uncertainty over his future.
Clubs are usually reluctant to continue paying players in their thirties around £350,000-a-week but Salah's statistics have improved with age as he defies normal convention approaching his 33rd birthday in June.
His 27 Premier League goals this season make him odds-on to win the Golden Boot for a record-equalling fourth time.
