Liverpool’s high-flying forward Mohamed Salah has just signed a new contract and will be excited to show Kalidou Koulibaly who’s the boss when he joins Chelsea.
The 31-year-old is set to follow Raheem Sterling by signing for the Blues as part of a deal reported to be worth around £34M.
Thomas Tuchel is reinforcing his defensive options in the wake of Antonio Rudiger’s switch to Real Madrid this summer.
One Liverpool fan on social media has taken the prime opportunity to get one over on Chelsea’s soon-to-be new signing, Koulibaly, by sharing a clip on Twitter.
It’s a compilation of every time Mo Salah has got one over the Senegal international, including a clip from the time the Egyptian left Koulibaly face down on the pitch after strong-arming his way past the defender.
Welcome to the Premier league Koulibaly

I’m sure Koulibaly will follow in Thiago Silva’s footsteps, joining the Blues and showing that veteran defenders in their 30s can still make a huge impact in the Premier League.
That said, I would still back Salah to get the better of him again and continue what has been a memorable duel in Europe in the last years.
Last season, Salah scored 31 goals and assisted 16 despite being out of form and low on confidence for most of the second half of the campaign.
Fresh off a much-needed break following the draining attempt at winning the quadruple last term, Salah is primed for another season of goals, assists and silverware.
