Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah, currently playing for FC Basel in the Swiss championship, is reportedly attracting interest from the Premier League. Salah has become a target for both Liverpool and Tottenham, who are planning to make a move for the talented winger during the upcoming winter transfer window.
Recruiters from Liverpool and Spurs have expressed their desire to acquire Salah, who has been a key contributor to FC Basel’s success. The interest from Tottenham heightened after a Europa League quarter-final match at White Hart Lane on April 4, where Salah showcased his skills in a 2-2 draw. A week later, Salah played a crucial role in helping Basel secure qualification against the London club.
Commonly nicknamed “Picasso” in his native country, Mohamed Salah is under contract with FC Basel until June 2016. To secure his services, the Swiss club has set a price tag of 18 million euros for the 21-year-old winger. Salah’s potential move to the Premier League will be a key storyline to watch during the winter transfer window.
