Liverpool’s pursuit of Mohamed Salah, the Roma winger, finally appears to be heading for a successful conclusion as the winger is expected to head to England today to finalise the deal.
Salah is flying to the country from Cairo and it is anticipated he will have a medical in the next few days as Liverpool prepare to make him their record signing.
Salah is likely to move to Anfield in a deal worth more than the £35 million the Merseysiders paid Newcastle for Andy Carroll in 2011. The complete package for the African star is thought to be closer to £39 million with add-ons although that remains to be confirmed.
