Mo Salah has been setting the Premier League on fire and he is easily one of the best forwards in the Premier League right now. The Egyptian has already scored 20 goals in 26 games for the Anfield outfit since arriving at the club at the beginning of the season.
He looks like a player who was born to play for Liverpool. And now the 25-year-old has revealed that it was indeed his dream to play for the Reds at some point in his career.
While speaking to Liverpool’s official website, Mo Salah said, “There was interest from Liverpool when I went to Chelsea, but I think if I’d come at that time maybe things wouldn’t have maybe have gone as well then as they have for me now. Who knows? But I went to Chelsea and everything worked out how it did and now I am here at Liverpool at the right time,
“When I go somewhere, I am always telling myself ‘I have to learn from here’ – and I know, 100 percent, I learned a lot from Chelsea; I learned how to be more professional and to become a better person and player. It was a big step in my career and I had a good relationship with the players there – and you could see that when we played them at Anfield recently.
“It was while I was at Chelsea that I first got to play at Anfield. I can remember I told myself – as I said on my very first day here – ‘I have to come here one day and play’ after I’d experienced that atmosphere.
“That atmosphere was unbelievable, really. I was very happy to play here against Liverpool – and now I am even happier to play for Liverpool here.”
