Mohamed Salah has arrived Turkey to complete his move to Trabzonspor in the Turkish Super League.

The 34-year-old Liverpool legend was treated to a heroic welcome by hundreds of fans at the airport.

Salah left Liverpool as a free agent following the expiration of his contract, ending a nine year stay with the EPL club where he scored 257 goals.

The Egypt national team captain was previously rumoured to be on the brink of joining Fenerbahce but their league rivals Trabzonspor have swopped in for a sensational statement transfer ahead of the new season.

Salah will join Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Paul Onuachu, to lead Trabzonspor on another league title challenge, after falling short by eight points to eventual winners Galatasaray last season and finishing in third place.

Onuachu became the first Trabzonspor player in 14 years to score in eight consecutive league matches, and shared the top scorer award with Eldor Shomurodov with 22 goals.

Salah donned Trabzonspor’s jersey when he landed at the Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, and engaged the excited crowd.

With Salah in their ranks, Trabzonspor will be expected to fiercely challenge Victor Osimhen’s Galatasaray for the league crown and end a four-year wait to reclaim the title. (Daily Trust)
