Mohamed Salah explains why Arsenal are his Premier League title favourites

Mohamed Salah has reiterated his claim that Arsenal should be considered favourites for the Premier League title ahead of Liverpool.

Liverpool finished 10 points clear of Arsenal in May to be crowned Premier League champions in Arne Slot’s first season at Anfield.

Both sides have significantly strengthened in the summer transfer window and have made strong starts to the new Premier League campaign by winning their two games.

Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday with many fans keen to see if Mikel Arteta’s side can lay down an early marker against the champions.

However, Salah believes Arsenal’s ability to keep their key players, as well as Arteta as manager, makes them favourites ahead of his own side this season.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Salah said of Arsenal: ‘That team, I have said it a few times, today and also at the PFA Awards, I said they are the favourites because they have a team that has played [together] for five, six years. So, they understand each other’s game.

‘And, they also have a manager with the team for five, six years. When the team’s stuck together for that long, they know each other’s game, so it becomes easier for them.

‘But other teams like us and [Manchester] City, changing a lot of players, which is sometimes tricky.

‘But again, teams with Pep Guardiola, they are always the favourites. But of course, my opinion is this year Arsenal are number one.’

Salah also revealed that he speaks with Slot about Liverpool’s transfer targets and gives his own recommendations to improve the squad.

‘After I stayed, in the beginning of the season I was asking him just out of curiosity, but I know my role and I know he’s the man who needs to decide what he wants, what position,’ Salah said.

‘But to be fair, the thing I admire a lot about him, he gives me space to say my opinion and tell him what I see in the team, what we can improve.

‘Even if I look now and I feel like I want to tell him we need that guy in that position, I think he will listen a lot.

‘That is something I really, really appreciate.’

Man Utd agree personal terms for fifth summer signing after Man City approach

Manchester United have agreed personal terms with Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens over a move to Old Trafford.

United expressed interest in signing a new shot-stopper despite Ruben Amorim’s public and repeated backing of Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.

Amorim picked Bayindir for Manchester United’s Premier League opener against Arsenal last weekend, with Onana not even featuring on the bench for the 1-0 defeat.

Despite dropping Onana and then watching Bayindir make a crucial error for Arsenal’s goal, Amorim defended both players and suggested United would not be signing a new goalkeeper before the transfer deadline.

However, behind closed doors Manchester United have been considering their options and expressed interest in Belgian shot-stopper Lammens.

Your ultimate guide to the football season

Metro’s weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it’s an open goal.

Lammens, 23, has impressed in the Belgian Pro League over the past three seasons and has been tipped as a future Belgium No. 1 once superstar Thibaut Courtois retires.

Manchester City have also shown interest in Lammens but Fabrizio Romano says Manchester United have moved ahead of their local rivals by agreeing personal terms over a move.

The deal is considered to be at an ‘advanced stage’ and as a result Lammens has been left out of Royal Antwerp’s team for their league game against Mechelen on Sunday.

United are yet to agree a deal with Antwerp but are believed to be ‘close’ to agreeing a fee, which could be around £20m.

It is unclear whether Amorim views Lammens as an immediate replacement for Onana and Bayindir and what his arrival means for United’s current goalies.

Onana, a £47m signing from Inter Milan, has been tentatively linked with a move to Saudi Arabia over the past 12 months.

The former Sporting boss faces another tricky decision on Sunday as he decides which goalkeeper to pick for the trip to Craven Cottage to face Fulham.

Asked whether he wanted to sign a new keeper at his pre-match press conference on Friday, Amorim said: ‘It’s not an idea that these guys are going to leave, to play in a different club, and then we’ll receive another player.

‘We don’t know what is going to happen, but we’re not waiting to take out someone to get another.’

If Lammens moves to Manchester United, he will become Amorim’s fifth summer signing following Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon.

Speaking after the opening-day defeat to Arsenal, Gary Neville implored his former club to sign a new goalkeeper and said it was the ‘glaring issue’ at Old Trafford.

While Manchester City are known admirers of Lammens, their focus is currently on a sensational deal for PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Donnarumma is searching for a new club after effectively being banished by PSG boss Luis Enrique and is open to a move to the Premier League.

Man City re-signed James Trafford from Burnley earlier in the summer but he struggled in Saturday’s shock 2-0 defeat at home to Tottenham.

Ederson has been City’s No. 1 for almost a decade but he looks set to leave the Etihad Stadium before the transfer deadline, with Turkish champions Galatasaray keen on a move.
