Fiorentina director Daniele Prad� gave the background to Mo Salah�s arrival from Chelsea and complimented Norberto Neto.
January signing Salah has scored six goals in seven games, including a brace in tonight�s 2-1 Coppa Italia victory at Juventus.
�He�s a strong player who is giving us great satisfaction, immediately settled into the squad and already the team relies on him,� Prad� told Rai Sport.
�He scored an incredible goal running for 70 metres. It was like when you�re a kid, putting a cross forward for yourself and then running on to it.�
Salah had also been linked with Roma and Inter, but Fiorentina swooped as part of the Juan Guillermo Cuadrado deal.
�Up until January 27 Cuadrado had a buy-out clause. At that moment we had to find an alternative, Chelsea had this strong player, we did well to choose and sign him.
�The move is our biggest economic move of January, but also our best one on a technical level. The squad has put itself at Salah�s disposal and he is working for the team, so they are getting the best out of each other.�
Salah appears to be a whole new player compared to his Chelsea days, but Prad� notes it�s also an issue of confidence and consistency.
�There is one very important thing, as Salah had decisive performances with Basel in the Champions League.
World Soccer Stars congratulate Mohamed Salah on his amazing performance tonight:
