Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>It has been a record-breaking season so far for Liverpool striker Mo Salah. The Egyptian is currently the top scorer in the Premier League with 25 goals and 16 assists.<\/b><\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s coach says Salah\u2019s hopes of winning the Ballon d’Or later this year could hinge on how much silverware the team win.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot believes that Salah’s bid to win the prestigious award can only boost the club’s title chances this season.<\/p>\n

“It’s a good thing that Mo is in the discussion, because it means if he does well, it means that we are doing well. But for him to stay in that discussion he should bring in the same performances as he has done for seven of eight months now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in general, someone that wins the Ballon d’Or needs to win something as well. So it’s a great challenge that is in front of us, but also in front of him.”<\/p>\n

Slot said, Salah, who had been with the club since 2017 has had some outstanding seasons and that he hopes he will \u201ccontinue this for a longer period of time\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut to do that he first has to extend his contract, of course,” said Slot.<\/p>\n

Salah has yet to agree to a contract extension with Liverpool beyond the current season.<\/p>\n

He has helped the Reds open an 11-point gap at the top of the standings over Arsenal, as they look to become champions for the 20th time.<\/p>\n

No African player has won the Ballon d’Or since George Weah in 1995.<\/p>\n
