Salah's talent went unacknowledged at Chelsea

Mohammed Salah was signed by Chelsea in 2014 from FC Basel. He became the first Egyptian to play for Chelsea but only managed 13 league appearances in two seasons for the London club.

He was eventually loaned to Fiorentina, where he stayed for just six months, netting nine times in the process. Salah was subsequently loaned to AS Roma in August 2015 with an option of a permanent transfer at the end of loan period.

Roma signed Salah on permanent basis in 2016 and in his two years at the club, the Egyptian winger made 83 appearances and scored 34 goals.

In the summer of 2017, Liverpool pursued the player and secured him for a club record fee. Since his return to England, Salah has scored 21 league goals for Liverpool and has been a revelation this season.

He also scored the opening goal against Chelsea in the 1-1 home draw. Salah is tearing the defences apart with his pace and precision, while Chelsea are struggling for a proper attacking source this season.
