Liverpool s Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah says he feels amazing when he hears Liverpool s fans sing his name, especially when he hears the song Egyptian King, adding that his transfer to Liverpool was a dream come true.
The Egyptian international, who joined Liverpool in the summer of 2017, took the Premier League by storm in his first season, scoring 44 goals in 52 appearances in all competitions.
Despite his slow start this season, Salah remains one of Liverpool s top guns with his seven goals in 14 games on all fronts.
"The fans have many songs for me, not just one. The one I like the most is the Egyptian King one, though," Salah told the club s official website on Thursday.
"After 10 or 15 games, I first heard it… I felt amazing. Honestly, the fans singing my name filled me with emotion and when I heard it during the game, it filled me with adrenaline… wow.
"I had only been here two or three months, yet they already had a special song for me. It s still the same for me even now when I hear it.
"I will always remember the day the crowd sang my name when I received the Golden Boot after the Brighton game last season. It was very, very special."
The 26-year-old also said that his move to Liverpool was a dream come true, adding that before he became a footballer, he would choose Liverpool when playing football videogames with his friends.
"When I went to Basel from Egypt, I had a plan in my mind that I would hopefully one day come to Liverpool.
"There was a chance before, but at the time it didn t work for both sides.
"When there was interest again last year, I was very interested in coming to Liverpool straight away in my head, but you also have to see what the plan for you is and how you will fit into it. Here I am now!
"The story of me playing as them on my PlayStation is true; sometimes [I played as] other teams, but most of the time I was Liverpool. Back then, I could never have imagined I d be here one day, but it was always a dream of mine and you have to try and follow them."
