Once upon a time, Chelsea signed Mohamed Salah from Basel with high expectations.
The Blues completed his move for 11million pounds in January of 2014, but his spell at the Stmaford Bridge side lasted only 13 months.




He was sent on loan to Fiorentina before returning to West London, eventually joining Roma on loan, before signing for the Italians permanently.
And last season he was just brilliant, scoring 19 goals for the club from the Italian capital.
And his performances earned him the chance to join Liverpool for a club-record of 37million pounds.
He has been performing at the highest level in the Premier League since his debut for the Merseyside club.
14 goals in 19 matches are his numbers, and looks like he’s just getting started.
However, on Saturday, he has the chance to go against his former side, when Liverpool host Chelsea at Anfield.
And Eden Hazard has tried to explain the situation why Chelsea let Salah leave in the first place.
“He is still my friend and we are still in contact. He’s a top, top, top player. He did not get his chance at Chelsea — maybe because of the manager, because of the other players? I don’t know,” he admitted.
“He has quality but in that period I remember we had me, Willian, Oscar, so for him it was not easy. But he’s a top player, for sure, and we know as a team the quality he has. He is a fantastic striker and this season he has scored a lot of goals.
“In training. he would do everything. Even in the games when he was playing, sometimes he would score goals, so we knew the quality he had. I am just happy for him.
When you are not playing at a club you need to go. You need a chance and he took his chance at Fiorentina, so he did everything that you have to do when you are not playing. If I was not playing, I’d want to go. That’s normal because of all the players want to play.
“I watched him when he played for Roma — one of my friends from the national team, Radja Nainggolan, is also there — and he did very well.
