Chasing Salah will shed a truer light on Liverpool legend and the most famous Egyptian footballer in the history of the sport.
The definitive biography of Liverpool legend and most famous Egyptian footballer in the history of the sport, Mohamed Salah.

Salah's achievements are, in many ways, unparalleled. A Champions League and Premier League winner, he is a two-time African Footballer of the Year who straddles two worlds.

The first is the continent he comes from, as well as the Islamic Middle East. The second is Europe, where he has broken all sorts of goalscoring records at Liverpool, helping him to become the most identifiable Arabic player on the planet.

And yet, despite his consistent success on the pitch, record-breaking playing, team victories and popular persona, little is known about the Liverpool forward, or the competing forces around him. That is, until now.

Award-winning football journalist and author Simon Hughes expertly pieces together a fascinating portrait of this enigmatic football icon. From his relationships with his teammates to what motivates him; from how the events of the past decade in Egypt have impacted his life, to what's next in his career - Chasing Salah reveals all.

Simon Hughes is a Merseyside based football writer with the Athletic, whom he joined from the Independent upon its launch in the United Kingdom in 2019. In 2022, he won the North West football journalist of the year award. He is the author of seven books about Liverpool FC as well as There She Goes, a modern social history of Liverpool as a city. In 2014, his book Red Machine won the Antonio Ghirelli Prize for Italian Soccer Foreign Book of the Year.
