Report: Liverpool agree Mohamed Salah deal

Liverpool have apparently agreed a deal to sign Basel's Mohamed Salah when the transfer window reopens.

Reds manager Brendan Rodgers insisted on Sunday that no arrivals were imminent, but Sport-Express.ru. claims that the Anfield club have secured the 21-year-old Egyptian winger on a four-year contract.

Rodgers is only looking to bring in players that he feels can improve his first XI and has been impressed with Salah, who scored in both ties as Basel did the Champions League double over Chelsea this season.

Salah, who has scored six goal in 24 appearances this term, had previously interested Tottenham Hotspur, but now seems to be Merseyside-bound in a switch that will reportedly go through on January 2.
