Liverpool star Mohamed Salah was turned down by every Premier League for a cut-price £2.5m as a young player, it has been revealed.

Prior to joining Basle in 2012 he was rejected by nearly every team in the English top flight.

The then-El Mokawloon player was offered to every side outside of the top six by agent Craig Honeyman when he was 20-years-old.

And Honeyman told the Daily Mail: "Off the top of my head, only Stoke and Hull showed any interest. (He) would have cost £2.5m."

Salah would instead move to Basle in June 2012.
