Mohamed Salah has made 42 appearances for Roma in all competitions

Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah has signed for Roma on a permanent deal.

The 24-year-old Egypt international spent last season on loan at the Serie A club, making 34 league appearances.

Salah signed for Chelsea from Basel in January 2014 for £11m on a five-and-a-half year deal, and made his debut a month later against Newcastle.

After playing 13 Premier League games, he was loaned to Fiorentina at the end of the 2014-15 season and has remained in Italy since then.
