Mohamed Salah signs for Saudi Arabian club - leaving Brazilian team-mate confused
An Al-Adalah player has revealed that he went through a whirlwind of emotions after hearing his club had signed Mohamed Salah - only to find out it was the Liverpool star's namesake and not the man himself.
A host of footballing talent reaching their elder years have flocked to the Saudi Pro League in the last few months. Cristiano Ronaldo completed his move to Al-Nassr shortly after the conclusion of the World Cup as Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves all then followed him to the Far East.

Should they pursue and sign the 22-year-old, though, it seems the Reds will have to edge out proposed interest from Tottenham - after they emerged as a possible competitor.
