Chelsea agree £11m deal to sign Salah from Basel

For a while now, Liverpool have been watching Mohamed Salah  and there were rumours in this transfer window that the Egyptian international will join the Anfield club.

Despite all the rumours, Salah will be heading to London to join Chelsea rather than the Anfield club.

The deal was announced on the Chelsea FC website on Thursday.

Chelsea’s statement read:

Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with FC Basel for the transfer of their 21-year-old attacking midfielder Mohamed Salah.

The move is subject to the Egyptian international agreeing personal terms and completing a medical examination.
