Shaqiri happy to link up with Salah after completing Liverpool move

Xherdan Shaqiri is happy to join forces with Mohamed Salah after signing for Liverpool.

The Switzerland star knows Salah from his time at Basel, although they were not team-mates at the club.

Salah arrived after Shaqiri had departed, but the Egypt international will be a familiar face for the 26-year-old, as well as a rival for a place in the team.

After completing a £13 million ($17m) move from Stoke City on Friday, Shaqiri said he is looking forward to teaming up with Salah.

"I don't know him so well but he came for training and a trial when I was at Basel," Shaqiri told Liverpool's website.
