Liverpool agree deal for Salah

Liverpool reportedly agree deal for Salah

Basel winger Mohamed Salah will fly to Merseyside to undergo his Liverpool medicals and sign a four-year deal on Thursday. Fee is €8m.

Liverpool have apparently agreed a deal to sign Basel's Mohamed Salah when the transfer window reopens according to Sports Mole .

Reds manager Brendan Rodgers insisted on Sunday that no arrivals were imminent, but Sport-Express.ru. claims that the Anfield club have secured the 21-year-old Egyptian winger on a four-year contract.

The Egyptian ace – who has been dubbed as his nation’s answer to Lionel Messi – has been earning rave reviews for his displays this term, which include two goal-scoring outings against Chelsea in the Champion League group stage.

Brendan Rodgers is desperate to land fresh faces once the transfer window opens after losing a number of first-team stars to injury, and it is understood that a deal for Salah is close to being completed.

Rodgers is only looking to bring in players that he feels can improve his first XI and has been impressed with Salah, who scored in both ties as Basel did the Champions League double over Chelsea this season.

The fee in question for the Basel ace is said to be between £7-8m, with the Swiss side’s elimination from the Champions League having been a major factor.

Salah, who has scored six goal in 24 appearances this term, had previously interested Tottenham Hotspur, but now seems to be Merseyside bound in a switch that will reportedly go through on  January 2.
