Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: Mohamed Salah has what we need…he cannot wait to get started
LIVERPOOL boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed summer signing Mohamed Salah is raring to kickstart his Anfield career.
Mohamed Salah's best goals for AS Roma
Liverpool signed Salah from Serie A giants Roma last month for a fee of £38million.
It means the Egyptian star is now their record-signing, with the amount paid to Roma surpassing the £35m they shelled out to Newcastle for Andy Carroll back in 2011.
Salah has rebuilt his career in Italy after a disastrous spell at Chelsea earlier in his career.
The 25-year-old struggled at Stamford Bridge, making just 19 appearances in two years before leaving in 2015.
But, after 34 goals from 83 games for Roma, Salah is back in England.

“We have had a few talks of course, spoke to each other – he is a really nice lad.
"He is really looking forward to coming to Liverpool and joining us.

“He is a fantastic player, with speed.
"We said after last season, there are a few things we would try to involve in an already really good squad; one of the things is speed, being kind of a finisher, preparing chances, making goals and all that stuff. He brings all this in.
“He is a naturally fit boy – he can run as quick and as long as he wants. That’s all good.
"I’m really looking forward to [working with him].”
