Liverpool could force through a deal for Basel winger Mohamed Salah within the 'next few days' according to his former international manager.

The 21-year-old has been continually linked with a move to Anfield, with some reports indicating the Reds could stump up £9 million for his signature.

A former teammate, Mohamed Zika, has already claimed he is "99 per cent sure" the move to Anfield will materialise for Salah.

The £20m rated Egyptian has seen his reputation enhanced by his performances in the Champions League this season, and guided Basel to victory over Chelsea in the group stage.

Now former Egypt and USA national coach Bob Bradley also believes Salah is on the cusp of a move to the Premier League.

"I was saying yesterday that in Egypt, a great success story in the last two years is a young player called Mohamed Salah," Bradley said via Egyptian TV channel KingFut.

"He left and we helped him to leave Egypt first to FC Basel, and from what I read and hear, in the coming days you will see his name again because I think it will be a big transfer to a Premiership team."
