Only Mo Salah

Raw, authoritative and compelling, this is an intimate portrait of the Egyptian King - a biography that matches Mo's magnificent career.Mohamed Salah is one of the greatest footballers of all time. Records have been battered and bettered with such ferocity that there is a special archive of stats under the headline 'Only Mo Salah'. Yet his influence and impact stretches far beyond just goals, honours and moments of brilliance on the pitch. Salah is a cultural behemoth; a man who means many different things to a diverse spread of people across the globe. However, through all of the success and exposure, Salah has remained true to himself.In this extraordinary biography, based on interviews with Salah himself, acclaimed football writer Melissa Reddy paints a vivid portrait of the star. Reddy journeys to Egypt to discover his humble background, before exploring Salah's springboard at Basel, frustration at Chelsea and rebirth in Italy with Fiorentina and Roma, showing how it primed him to take centre stage on Merseyside.We witness Salah's rise to the peak of his powers - and the peace he had been searching for throughout his career - at Liverpool. Through exclusive interviews with those who know him best, Reddy crafts a detailed picture of Mo's career with the Reds. Alongside the triumphs and trophies, she also explores Salah's lowest moments, his relentless pursuit to overcome obstacles, and how he has continually challenged himself to evolve physically, psychologically and tactically.
