Mohamed Salah shows true colours in heartwarming Liverpool reunion
Mohamed Salah joined Super Lig side Trabzonspor on a free transfer earlier this month, making his debut as a substitute in a 1-1 draw against Kasimpasa.
Residents in Trabzon have been 'waking up and going to sleep to the name of Mohamed Salah,' club president Ertugrul Dogan told Egypt's Sport channel, praising the signing's impact.
Salah has 10 goals and 10 assists in 37 Europa League appearances for Basel, Roma, Fiorentina, and Liverpool, and he played 98 times in the Champions League across his career.
Trabzonspor flew young Liverpool fan Isaac Kearney, who has Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, to Turkey earlier this month to reunite with Salah at the club's training ground.
Coach Fatih Tekke said 'Thursday is really important' as Trabzonspor prepares for a Europa League play-off against Hungary's Ferencvaros, while negotiations to sign Darwin Nunez from Hilal collapsed over wage costs.
Isaac Kearney, a young fan known for his love of Mohamed Salah and Liverpool, was reunited with his idol, the Egyptian star, thanks to an event organized by the Trabzonspor management. Kearney, who participated in the pre-match ceremony at the Trabzonspor-Ferencvaros game, shared unforgettable moments with Salah and even posed for a photo with him.
