In different circumstances, Chelsea might be taking on Liverpool with two of the Premier League’s top scorers in their side; instead, Mohamed Salah will be wearing red when the Blues visit Anfield on Saturday evening. Since swapping Rome for Merseyside, the Egyptian has been virtually unplayable, out-scoring even £58m man Alvaro Morata to lead the division’s scoring charts with nine goals. Yet not even 18 months ago he was still officially a Chelsea player, and of all the very high-profile players the west Londoners have sold prematurely – particularly under Jose Mourinho’s second spell at the club – Salah is starting to feel like the biggest error, particularly in terms of how he would have fitted in to Antonio Conte’s current team.
