Liverpool's impressive start to the season has Anfield dreaming of another title triumph. 

The Reds currently top the Premier League, five points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City and are currently favourites to lift their first title since 2020. 

If they were to be crowned champions next year, former Premier League midfielder Jamie O'Hara believes that it could be just the thing to sway Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah to sign new deals with the club. 

“If Liverpool win the league, I can see it making Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold wanting to stay,” he told Grosvenor Sports

“It would be a very exciting time at the club, they’d feel part of a team that would be thinking they could win everything! It certainly doesn’t push them out of the door.

“For me, I think Van Dijk will stay at the club. Salah has a decision to make – does he want to stay and be one of the best players in the world, or does he want to go and earn a million pounds a week in Saudi Arabia? I hope he stays for another few years, he has time on his side, and he is still that good.


"He should wait and go later down the line, if I’m Liverpool then I’m throwing any amount of money at him to keep him, he is still the best player in the Premier League for me.

“Trent’s position looks like a difficult one for me, he’s young and ambitious and I think he will go. Real Madrid will come knocking on the door as Dani Carvajal is coming to the end of his time there and he fits the bill. It must be a very attractive proposition and I think it’ll be hard to turn down, but we’ll see what happens.”
