Done Deal: Mohamed Salah joins Liverpool from Roma

Liverpool have announced the signing of Roma midfielder Mohamed Salah on a five-year deal.

The Egypt international was said to be a Reds target while he was at Basel before he signed for Chelsea for £11m in 2014.

However, the 25-year-old only made six appearances for the Blues before being shipped out on loan to Serie A outfit Fiorentina and Roma, joining the Giallorossi in 2016.

Salah told the club’s official website: “I’m very excited to be here. I’m very happy. I will give 100 per cent and give everything for the club. I really want to win something for this club.

“We have a great team and very good players. I was watching the games last year and everyone was giving 100 percent to win something. Everyone can see the coach gives everything. I hope to see that together we can give everything to win something for the club, for the supporters and for us.”

Salah, who will officially join Jurgen Klopp’s side on July 1 – has scored 15 goals and provided 11 assists in 31 Serie A appearances during the 2016-17 campaign.
