Liverpool Football Club are getting close to agreeing on a transfer fee with AS Roma for the acquisition of winger Mohamed Salah.
If the deal goes through, and it’s looking like it could happen as early as tomorrow, it would not be only the most expensive signing in Anfield history but also surpass Sadio Mane as the most expensive African acquisition in Reds history. Salah, a former Chelsea man, who’s sale from Roma to LFC would net a £2.7m for the Blues, would be a great addition to the Reds attack, and fit in well in Jurgen Klopp’s system.

The schedule makers did not wish them a very happy holidays, and instead gave them a huge workload in late December, which then carried over into an utterly ridiculous January slate. Although Liverpool FC Manager Jurgen Klopp consistently maintained that the schedule would not be an excuse for poor results, the first month of 2017 was disastrous for them, and it nearly derailed the Reds 2016-17 season.
