Jeff Stelling couldn’t help but laugh at the suggestion of Mohamed Salah moving to West Ham, following growing speculation about the winger’s contract situation at Liverpool.

The 32-year-old forward, now in the final 12 months of his contract at Anfield, has voiced frustration over the lack of talks regarding a potential renewal, with fellow stars Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold also facing uncertain futures.

On talkSPORT, Stelling reacted with disbelief at the idea of Salah leaving Liverpool for West Ham, highlighting the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the club’s key players.

West Ham fans were clearly in high spirits following their 2-0 win over Newcastle United on November 25, and one cheeky supporter phoned in to suggest that Mohamed Salah should make the switch to the London Stadium.

Speaking live on talkSPORT on November 26, Jeff Stelling couldn’t help but laugh at the bold suggestion: “You’ve got to love West Ham fans and their humour. An anonymous text this morning, ‘Good morning, chaps. I think Salah is too good for Liverpool. He should come to West Ham.’”

Stelling’s reaction highlighted the light-hearted nature of the claim, especially considering Salah’s current contract uncertainty at Liverpool. Fans of the Hammers are certainly dreaming big after their recent victory!

“West Ham United to Sign Mohamed Salah Amid Liverpool Contract Drama?”

While no serious football fan truly believes Mohamed Salah would leave Anfield for West Ham United, the speculation surrounding his contract situation at Liverpool has sparked some cheeky suggestions. Even if his deal were to expire next summer, the idea of Salah swapping one of Europe’s elite clubs for East London seems far-fetched. But, with Salah’s recent outbursts about his contract renewal, the rumour mill continues to turn, leading to a mix of playful fan hopes and wild transfer talk.

While the suggestion of Mohamed Salah joining West Ham United remains highly unlikely, Hammers fans are undoubtedly more than satisfied with their current star, Jarrod Bowen. The winger played a pivotal role in their 2-0 victory at St James’ Park, further solidifying his place in the hearts of West Ham supporters.

With an impressive record of 12 goals and three assists in 16 encounters against the Hammers, Salah has been a constant thorn in their side over the years. Fans at the London Stadium would undoubtedly relish the prospect of seeing the back of the Egyptian, given his history of tormenting them on the pitch. However, Bowen’s form has ensured that West Ham fans are more than happy to stay loyal to their own homegrown hero.

Julen Lopetegui’s side has already suffered a heavy defeat to Liverpool this season, losing 5-1 in the EFL Cup in September. With two more Premier League encounters to come, including a crucial clash on 29 December, West Ham will need to come up with a solid strategy to contain Mohamed Salah.

Having scored against the Hammers in their last meeting, Salah will once again be a key threat. For West Ham to avoid another heavy defeat, they’ll need to find a way to keep the Egyptian winger as quiet as possible and prevent him from making a game-changing impact. The upcoming fixtures are a big test for Lopetegui’s men.
