# Liverpool: Fans flock to James Pearce tweet

**A number of Liverpool supporters have hailed James Pearce’s latest tweet regarding the importance of tying down Mohamed Salah to a new Reds deal.**

The Egyptian was at his exceptional best on Sunday as Jurgen Klopp’s side drew 2-2 at home to Manchester City in a Premier League classic.

The 29-year-old produced a stunning assist for Sadio Mane’s opener at Anfield before scoring an [outrageous goal of his own](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-manchester-city/report/446353), weaving past City tackles and firing past Ederson.

On current form, Salah is [arguably](https://www.whoscored.com/Statistics) the best player in the world, while his goal record at Liverpool stands at an astonishing [134 in 212 appearances.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-salah/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/148455/verein/31) However, he is still yet to sign a new deal at Anfield, with his current contract [expiring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-salah/profil/spieler/148455) in the summer of 2023.

There is concern that the issue is yet to be resolved, and in taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1444922301158510594?s=20) on Monday, Pearce claimed that the club’s hierarchy must get it sorted sooner rather than later.

In posting a link to his accompanying article for [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/2855880/2021/10/04/salah-is-in-a-class-of-his-own-liverpool-should-break-wage-structure-for-his-new-deal/?source=emp_shared_article), he tweeted the introductory comment of: “Forget talk of wage structures, Mohamed Salah has to be treated as a special case. Liverpool need to ensure his contract situation doesn’t drag on and become an unwelcome distraction in the pursuit of glory. It needs sorting.”
