Official: Salah Signs For Liverpool

   Liverpool completed record €42 million (+€8 million add-ons) signing of Mohammed Salah from Roma.  The 25-year-old agreed a long-term contract worth £90,000 a week.

   The forward is now the club's #11 after he switched with Roberto Firminho who chose #9. Salah is set to thrive at Anfield, bolstering the Red's attack.

   Jurgen Klopp is happy with his new signing. He hailed the Egyptian speedster, saying that he will create more attacking options, and that his skills will be helpful for the squad.

   Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Salah said: '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 per cent 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.'

   There are many people who criticize this move, and don't believe that he can succeed in the Merseyside. But in my opinion, Salah is the perfect fit for liverpool. His style of play fits Klopp's plans. He is pacy, skillful, agile, and a versatile player. He can replace Sadio Mane or Philippe Coutinho, and can deliver the same quality, when needed, as Liverpool are back in The Champions League, and need to maintain their form.

Liverpool to sign Salah?

There has been rumors in the last 2 weeks linking Mohamed Salah with a move to Anfield. Liverpool were interested in the speedster when he was still in Basel FC, but Chelsea were the ones to sign him first. Life at Stamford Bridge didn't go quite well for the winger, after making just 19 appearances, so he moved to Fiorentina on loan. Fiorentina made an offer to buy him, but he preferred a move to AS Roma, where he shone and became a very important player in the squad, leading them  to finish 2nd in Serie A this season, with 19 goals and 12 assists of his signature in all competitions.

   Sky Sports Italia claim that the 24-year-old verbally agreed to sign with the Reds for a weekly wage of 100 thousand euros costing the club 40 million euros. This claim is thought to be true after Salah's friend, Mohammad Saadon Alkuwari, who works at BeIn Sports tweeted on his account (@ms3don) "Can we say congratulations @22mosalah #EPL". Moreover, Roma are forced to sell some of their players to inject the club with cash and break even in abidance to the UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations (FFP). If not Roma will have to pay a fine and could be transfer banned by FIFA.

    This is good news for Liverpool fans for the team has failed to make an impact in the absence of the injured Senegalese Sadio Mane. Also it's good news to Salah's Egyptian fans especially for his transfer fee which is about 1 billion Egyptian pounds!

   Some say Salah should stay in Roma for at least one season for he would fail in the Premier League. Others believe that Klopp will get the best out of him and could be the signing of the year. From a neutral perspective, Salah is a very good player and he showed his value in Roma. He has the ability to change the game and finish it within seconds, using his pace, agility, and skills which will highly suit Klopp's style of play and will ease his adaptation in Liverpool.
