QPR boss admits intention to bring Chelsea star across London
January 8, 2015
Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has admitted he is keen to bring Mohamed Salah to Loftus Road, the
Express reports.
The Egyptian has failed to break into Jose Mourinho’s first team plans this season, with the Portuguese boss operating with quite a tight rotation policy.
Salah has only been granted three substitute appearances in the Premier League this term, although he has started three matches in all competitions, he is yet to complete the full 90 minutes of a single match.
The ‘Egyptian Messi’, as he has been called previously, is expected to be eager to seal a temporary move away from the club, in order to find more consistent game-time, with Inter Milan and Sunderland also rumoured to be interested.
The former Spurs boss admitted that as much as he would like the former Basel winger to join him until the end of the season, he doesn’t believe he is available.
Redknapp said: “Of course I’d take him! But he’s not available.
“I don’t think Chelsea would loan him, I’ve never asked for him. I’ve never thought about him until it was mentioned now.
“He’s a very good player but I don’t think we’ll get him on loan.”
