Five Years Ago Today, Mohamed Salah Signed For Chelsea

Five years ago today, Chelsea signed Mohamed Salah. The rest is history.

In 2014, Mohamed Salah ventured to the Premier League by signing for Chelsea in a transfer worth a reported £11 million.

But it didn't work out at Stamford Bridge. He played just 13 top flight games, scoring only two goals during his time in West London.

Salah was eventually sold for a believed £12 million. Though, of course, he returned to England after penning a deal with Liverpool in 2017, and he's absolutely smashing it.

Liverpool lured the Egyptian international away from Rome for £36 million and in his debut season, he delivered a phenomenal term.

We're talking a record-breaking 32 Premier League goals from just 36 games.

Naturally, he was named Premier League Player of the Season. He picked up a bunch of other prestigious awards, too, such as the PFA Players' Player of the Year as well as the FWA Footballer of the Year.

And the 26-year-old has dispelled any one-season wonder talk by continuing his heroics, this season.

He's already weighed in with an impressive 16 league goals as Liverpool mount a serious bid to win the Premier League title.

Can Salah steer his side to a league title? Watch this space.
