In a surprising twist in Premier League discussions, former Manchester United captain Roy Keane made a provocative statement regarding Mohamed Salah shortly after the Liverpool star secured his future with the club.

Salah, now 32, recently signed a new two-year contract, putting an end to months of speculation about his future. This announcement couldn't have come at a better time for Arsenal, who are eyeing the Premier League title but have stumbled with four draws in their last six matches.

Keane boldly claimed that if Arsenal had Salah in their ranks, they would be cruising toward the Premier League title this season. Despite his long-standing rivalry with Liverpool, the former United skipper expressed his satisfaction that Salah chose to stay.

On Sky Sports, Keane stated, "No doubt he's an example for young players. Week in and week out, he scores and assists. Put him in Arsenal’s squad, and they’d win the league this year—he's that special. I'm pleased they got the deal done; we need top players in the Premier League.”

Reflecting on Salah's contributions, Keane emphasized the Egyptian's professionalism and work ethic. "He's a fitness freak doing the business, and Liverpool couldn’t allow him to leave for free—he’s too valuable.”

Despite failing to find the net in his recent matches against Everton and Fulham, Salah boasts impressive statistics this season, with 32 goals and 22 assists across all competitions. Rumors of a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia swirled around him before he ultimately committed to Liverpool.

In his own words, Salah expressed his excitement about staying with Liverpool, stating, "We have a great team now, and I believe we can win more trophies together. My best years have been spent here, and I'm hoping for many more." He urged fans to continue their unwavering support as they aim for more silverware in the future.
