Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has set his sights on winning silverware for the club this season to cap off a memorable debut campaign.

Salah has scored 30 goals in just 36 appearances for the Reds since his summer move from Roma, reaching that milestone quicker than any Liverpool player since George Allan in 1896.

The Egypt international insists that there is still room for improvement in his game, and is desperate to help the club end what is now a six-year wait for a trophy.

"With the boss here, I play a little bit closer to the goal, more so than at any other club or more than any of my other coaches have asked me to. So I am always in front of the goal to give me the opportunity to score. The manager is always telling me to stay close to the goal in training," Salah is quoted as saying by the Liverpool Echo.

"I don't want to say too much because we still have a long way to go in the season and I don't want to give too much away. But yes, it's something we have worked on in the training sessions. You cannot score 10 goals from 10 balls - that's impossible and I know that I have missed many chances too this season. But I am trying to improve.

"I am always trying to see my weaknesses and then work on them and I am always trying to score in different ways. The coaches help me so much to do that and I also work hard alone after the training sessions.

"I came here to win titles, to win something for the club, for us as players and for the fans. I would love to win something with Liverpool and we are all working hard every day to try to achieve that."

Liverpool are next in action on Saturday, when they host West Ham United at Anfield.
