​Liverpool\'s new signing Salah thanks Firmino for number sacrifice

Published on: 23 June 2017

Mohamad Salah is already indebted to his new Liverpool teammates.

After the Reds new signing was unveiled at Melwood, eyebrows were raised when Salah donned the number 11 jersey – which has been worn by Roberto Firmino since 2015.

However, at the same time as the announcement, the club released a statement detailing Firmino's decision to change to the number 9.

"Firstly, I appreciate what Firmino did," Salah told the club's website.

"I have to thank him very much. I like the number 11; it was my number in Rome and also the national team before. I like this number. I have to thank him."
