There is a scene near the end of Sky’s recent Deadline Day documentary where Sascha Empacher, the man credited with spotting Mohamed Salah among many players, is close to losing his calm.
The German, who MirrorFootball quickly learns dislikes being described as an agent because “it sounds degrading”, and considers himself “the coolest guy I know”, is working to complete Sasa Kalajdzic’s move to Wolves and Martin Dubravka’s switch from Newcastle to Manchester United.
But with various plates spinning too slowly and the 11pm deadline approaching, an otherwise level-headed Empacher grows frustrated when on the phone in a hotel lobby.
