Mohamed Salah is a global superstar. The Egyptian is one of the most recognisable figures in football. A hero not only in his native country but the continent of Africa as a whole.
With 52 million followers on Instagram, Salah is a household name. But it’s taken time for the forward to establish his status.
Having started his professional career in Egypt with Al Mokawloon Al Arab, it was always going to be difficult for Salah to burst onto the scene worldwide at a young age.
But it was the summer of 2012 that changed Salah’s career. He left Egypt for FC Basel in Switzerland, where he would catch the attention of major European clubs thanks to his performances in the Europa League and Champions League.
