Mohamed Salah says he has a point to prove after a frustrating spell in the Premier League with Chelsea.
The Egyptian became Liverpools second most-expensive signing, arriving on Thursday from Roma for a reported fee of £34 million just £1m shy of Andy Carroll’s price tag six and a half years ago.
Salah made only 13 league appearances during 12 months at Stamford Bridge before being sent out on loan to Fiorentina, with Roma eventually taking him on permanently for around £13m last summer.
The 25-year-old says he moves back to England, for almost three times that fee, a more mature player following a season which saw him register 15 goals and 11 assists in 31 Serie A games.
When he was asked if he has a point to prove after a struggling run at Chelsea, Salah replied: “Yes, always.
“Even if I see myself playing very well in one thing, I try to improve to do it better and better. I always think about the small details because I need to improve more and more.”
“I was here and I have experience [of English football]. I like to play here in the Premier League. I’m happy to be back and I’m excited.
“[I am] 100 per cent [a better player]! Everything [has improved]. Even my personality was different, I was a kid – I was 20 or 21. Now I’m four years older, everything is different.
“I have lots of experience in three clubs: I was at Chelsea, then Fiorentina and then Roma. I have good experience.”
