Basel's Salah on the verge of Chelsea move

 According to the BBC

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah from
Swiss champions Basel for a fee in the region of £11m.
Salah, 21, is yet to undergo a medical or agree personal terms, but is
expected to move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's Premier League rivals Liverpool had held talks with Basel
with hope of making Salah their first signing of the January transfer
window.
The Blues agreed to sell Juan Mata to Manchester United on Wednesday.
United's club-record £37m move for Mata appears to have encouraged
Chelsea to move swiftly for Salah, who would become their third
signing of the January transfer window after the arrival of Nemanja
Matic and Bertrand Traore.

Salah, who can operate in a variety of attacking roles, has been
tracked by a number of clubs after impressive displays in the Europa
League last season and this year's Champions League.
The Egypt international scored against Chelsea in the semi-finals of
the Europa League in 2013, before getting the only goal of the game in
a victory over Jose Mourinho's side in the Champions League in
December
