Mohamed Salah insists his sole focus is on Liverpool winning the Premier League title, although his future at Anfield remains uncertain.
Salah scored and set up two more goals in a 5-0 win over West Ham on Sunday, as Arne Slott's side ran riot at the London Stadium.
Luis Diaz, Cody Jacobo, Trent Alexander-Arnold and substitute Diogo Jota also scored, as Liverpool ended the year in first place to win the league title.

But one of the main talking points to come out of Anfield in recent weeks has been the futures of Salah, Alexander-Arnold and captain Virgil van Dijk, all of whom are out of contract this summer.
All three are yet to agree to an extension, but the Reds' top scorer this season says his main priority is making sure his side pick up some silverware this season.
“The only thing on my mind is that I want Liverpool to win the league,” Salah told Sky Sports after the match. “I just want to be a part of that.
“This is the only thing I have focused on since the beginning of the season. So I will do my best for the team to win the title.
“We are in the right direction but of course there are a few other teams trying to catch up with us. We just need to stay focused, work hard and push forward again.”
Regarding the contract situation, Salah remained silent: “We are far from that. I don't want to put anything in the media.
“I'm focused on the team and I hope we win the Premier League.”
🗣️ “The way he celebrated his goal says enough.”

Slott was also careful not to reveal anything to the press about off-field matters.
The Liverpool manager told Sky Sports: “People talk more about it (in January). It's not just about those three (Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold) but about the other players because it's a month where players can make transfers as well.
“So next month it will not only be about the three, but also about the people we bring in who can leave as well,” he added.
However, Slott singled out Alexander-Arnold for praise amid growing speculation that the 26-year-old wants to leave Liverpool in the summer, with Real Madrid believed to be the likely destination.
“He (Alexander-Arnold) is playing really well. He scored a great goal and the way he celebrated his goal probably tells you enough.
“So I don't think I have to say much about it. I'm really happy with Trent, and I'm also happy with Mo (Salah) and Virgil (Van Dijk). So for me there's no difference.
“For the outside world, there might be more going on in the media. But I'm happy with all three at the moment.
Liverpool will play the next match when it hosts its fierce rival, Manchester United, on January 5.
