Mohamed Salah's former club in his native Egypt have responded to the claims made by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly that the Egyptian superstar was a product of the Stamford Bridge academy system.
Boehly, who acquired ownership of the Londoners in May after former owner Roman Abramovich was forced to sell the club due to his close ties with the Russian Kremlin, was speaking at the SALT New York conference and bizarrely made claims about the club's recent academy successes.
“We have one of the best academies in the world," said Boehly. "If you look at what our academy has developed, our academy is Mo Salah, Kevin De Bruyne. More recently Tammy Abraham, Reece James, Mason Mount, Trevoh Chalobah.”
