Elsewhere, Mohamed Salah has been backed to stay at Liverpool despite speculation linking him with a move to Saudi Arabia in January.

It was reported that the Liverpool forward was the subject of a £200million bid from the Gulf state in the summer.

Salah stayed put, though rumours are expected to intensify in the coming weeks. But former team-mate Fabinho says he thinks the Egyptian will stay on Merseyside.
