Aina reacts to Salah’s contract extension
Super Eagles star Ola Aina has predicted tougher days for English Premier League defenders following Mohamed Salah’s contract extension with Liverpool.
According to Liverpoolecho, the Nottingham Forest defender dramatically declared the 2026/27 EPL season “finished” in reaction to the news.
The 28-year-old, who plays on the same wing as Salah, helped Forest contain the Egyptian winger in their last two encounters. He said:
"Has he signed? Mohamed has signed again?
"The league is finished! It is dead!"
"He signed on? Everyone's in trouble!
In their 1-0 loss to the Midlanders, the former CAF Player of the Year failed to find the net, and in their subsequent 1-1 draw, he couldn’t make a significant impact per Football365.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has scored 243 goals and provided 111 assists in 394 games for the Merseysiders per Transfermarkt.

Salah matches Messi’s record
Legit.ng earlier reported that Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has matched Lionel Messi's remarkable 10-year record by scoring a goal and providing an assist against Manchester City.
Salah’s ability to combine goal-scoring and playmaking continues to set him apart in Europe’s top five leagues.
This means Salah has 25 goals in the Premier League, seven shy of his record 32 in his debut season, but it was also his 30th goal in all competitions.
