“I suffered [playing against] Salah in training, pfff,” former Chelsea player Filipe Luis told The Guardian.
“When he went Fiorentina, I said: ‘Why are you going, Momo? This is Chelsea.’ And he said: ‘I need to play.’ I thought: ‘This kid’s good.’ He never went for money or to win more; he went to show he could play. In training, he was like Messi. Really, like Messi. Ask anyone.”
Salah spent 2 seasons with Chelsea from 2013 to 2015 but never really broke into the starting XI as he was sold to Roma in 2016 after spending time out at Fiorentina on loan. The Reds signed him in 2017 for around £40m and he has been one of the world's best players since then.
Selling the Egyptian is definitely one of the poor transfer decisions the club has made in the last few seasons!
