Liverpool have announced that club legend Mohamed Salah will leave Anfield this summer, bringing the curtain down on an extraordinary nine year spell in red.

When the Egyptian arrived from Roma for a club record fee in 2017, few could’ve foreseen what he would go on to achieve. Two Premier League titles, a Champions League, and two domestic cups later, Salah leaves a bonafide legend - sitting third in the Reds’ all-time goalscoring rankings - and as the Premier League’s top foreign goalscorer.

Liverpool was a different club when he signed nine years ago. Jurgen Klopp’s side were still establishing themselves as competitors after an encouraging 2016/17 campaign. Salah made his debut in a 3-3 draw with Watford at Vicarage Road, on 12 August 2017.

Future Everton manager Marco Silva was in charge of the Hornets that day - the day he gave a debut to a certain Richarlison. Abdoulaye Doucoure was also on the scoresheet.
