Mohamed Salah swaps Chelsea for Fiorentina

Mohamed Salah will depart Chelsea and head to Serie A side Fiorentina on loan until July. The winger has struggled to force the likes of Willian and Eden Hazard out of the Blues' first team.

Salah, who had been linked with a transfer to German side Bayer Leverkusen, told Jose Mourinho that he wanted to leave last month and will now get his wish.

Fiorentina have agreed a fee for Juan Cuadrado and Mohamed Salah will move the opposite way as part of the deal.

It is understood that the Viola also have the option make the deal permanent in the summer months.
