Although Salah is not new to the Premier League but, his first time in the League with Chelsea was not one he wished for in his career.

The 25-year-old signed for Chelsea under current Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho but he only spent 18 months before loan spells at Roma and Fiorentina.

Salah was then sold to Roma and Mourinho has been under criticism for mistreating the Egyptian at Chelsea, however, the Portuguese manager insisted that he didn’t sell the Liverpool talisman and asked pundits to blame his former club.

Mohamed Salah now says he became a better player at Stamford Bridge and learnt a lot from Mourinho and Frank Lampard.  

Speaking to Lampard on BT Sport, Salah said, ‘I learnt a lot from Jose, from the club.

‘We would meet each other in Chelsea, and with you, you always used to train alone after the training and I saw you do that, I would always come to you and try to improve, and I learned a lot.’

Salah was also confident that he will be fit for the World Cup after his injury.
