Career

Salah's European journey took a significant turn when "Chelsea" signed him in 2014, though his time in London proved frustrating. Limited playing time at Chelsea. Limited opportunities forced him to seek minutes elsewhere, leading to loan spells in Italy. His stint at "Fiorentina" showed glimpses of what was to come - explosive running, direct dribbling, and an eye for goal.

It was at "Roma", however, where Salah truly found his feet in European football, initially on loan before making the move permanent. He netted an impressive 34 goals across two campains in the Italian capital, playing with newfound confidence and maturity. His performances in Serie A convinced "Liverpool FC" to splash the cash on him in 2017, a decision that would transform both player and club.

At Anfield, Salah has been nothing short of sensational. He hit the ground running by smashing the Premier League record for most goals in a 38-game season with thirty-two strikes in his debut campaign. The Egyptian king has continued to rack up impressive numbers, becoming Liverpool's top Premier League goalscorer and reaching fifty goals faster than any player in the club's storied history (65 matches). His contributions have been central to Liverpool winning the Champions League in 2019, ending a 30-year wait for a league title in 2020, and collecting domestic cups including the FA Cup and two EFL Cups.
