The Football pundit, Micah Richards revealed that he played with Mo Salah in Fiorentina for a brief period, and he was impressed with the player’s ability and skill in trainings. The former player said,
“He was at Fiorentina with me and I can’t believe Chelsea let him go. He used to get the ball in training, dribble past everyone and just pass it into the net, he did the exact same in the games, I remember before Chelsea at Basel he did exactly the same. I was thinking in my head he must be a bad egg, because there’s no way on his ability he’s not playing at Chelsea.”
