Liverpool star Mohamed Salah's hilarious message to Dejan Lovren over new signing Kostas Tsimikas

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has sent a hilarious message to best friend and former teammate Dejan Lovren over the Reds most recent recruit Kostas Tsimikas.

The centre back recently left the club after six successful years at Anfield where he became a European, World and Premier League champions despite suffering criticism during his time on Merseyside.

He developed a firm friendship with LFC forward Salah and some fans shared their concerns about their relationship following Lovren's move to Zenit St Petersburg.

But now, the Egyptian has shared an image on his Instagram story of new signing, left back Kostas Tsimikas with the caption 'You're not missed' tagging Lovren in the post along with crying laughing emojis.

Fans unsurprisingly loved the post with one replying "My guys!" and another posted "Poor Dejan!"

Tsimikas became Liverpool's first signing of the summer on Monday, when the £11.75million deal with Olympiacos was officially announced.

He will wear the No.21 shirt, previously worn by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lucas Leiva.

The Premier League champions moved quickly to get the deal done after having a bid for Norwich's Jamal Lewis rejected.

Dejan Lovren meanwhile has already enjoyed success with his new club.

The Croatian enjoyed a dream debut for Zenit St. Petersburg after winning the Russian Super Cup in his first outing for his new side.

Starting in the Russian Super Cup final, Lovren completed the full 90 minutes as Zenit beat Lokomotiv Moscow to clinch a domestic treble.

Despite the distance now imposed by the defender and his pal Salah, it seems their social media banter will continue regardless.
