Former Chelsea captain John Terry claimed that neither Mohamed Salah nor Kevin De Bruyne were “ready” to play for the Blues at that time in their careers.
De Bruyne was the first to arrive in west London, joining Chelsea’s first-team setup permanently in the summer of 2013. Salah would arrive six months later, although by that point the Belgian midfielder had already forced through a move to Wolfsburg. A young Salah lasted 12 months under José Mourinho before eventually escaping to Roma.
