Liverpool on Thursday June 22,2017 completed the signing of a 5-year contract Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah from AS Roma for a fee reported to be 39 million euros ($43.5 million)
Salah, who has also played for Basel, Chelsea and Fiorentina, has been capped 52 times, scoring 29 international goals.
"I’m very excited to be here. I’m very happy," said Salah who spent two seasons at Roma where he grabbed 29 goals in 65 Serie A appearances.
“I will give 100 per cent and give everything for the club. I really want to win something for this club.
“We have a great team and very good players. I was watching the games last year and everyone was giving 100 per cent to win something.
“Everyone can see the coach gives everything. I hope to see that together we can give everything to win something for the club, for the supporters and for us.”
Salah was a long-term target of Liverpool, who previously tried to sign him three years ago when they were pipped by Chelsea, and current manager Jurgen Klopp was keen to add more pace to his side.
Klopp said he had been a fan of the winger since his early days at Basel and believes his experience in Italy will be key for a Liverpool side returning to the Champions League next season.
"He knows the Premier League, he has pedigree in the Champions League and he is one of the most important players for his country," Klopp told www.liverpoolfc.com.
