Chelsea and Basel have reached an agreement for the transfer of Egyptian International Mohammed Salah to the London club.

The 21 year old attacking midfielder, who joined Basel in 2012 from Egyptian club, El Mokawloon, has shone at both club and International level this past year, and scored against Chelsea in both fixtures this season in the Champions League.

Chelsea confirmed that the offer had been accepted on their website on Thursday.

The transfer will be completed once Salah and Chelsea agree on personal terms, and he completes a medical examination.
