Leaving Chelsea Made Me A Better Player – Salah
New Liverpool boy, Mohamed Salah says it has only been upward and forward since he parted ways with Chelsea. Salah completed the move, said to be worth an initial €42million on Thursday, but his move could go on to be worth €50m with add-ons.
The winger had a short forgettable stay at Chelsea after joining the club from FC Basel before being loaned out to Fiorentina and then sealing a permanent deal with AS Roma where he scored 15 Serie A goals and 11 assists in 31 games.
“100 per cent, yes!, the Egyptian replied when asked if he returns to England as a better player.
“Everything has improved. Even my personality was different, I was a kid – I was 20 or 21. Now I’m four years older, everything is different.
“I have lots of experience in three clubs: I was at Chelsea, then Fiorentina and then Roma. I have good experience. “Yes, always, I have a point to prove. Even if I see myself playing very well in one thing, I try to improve to make myself better and better. I always think about the small details because I need to improve more and more.
“I was here in England and I have experience. I like to play here in the Premier League. I’m happy to be back and I’m excited.”
Roberto Firmino asking for the number nine jersey means Salah becomes the new number 11 at Anfield.
