Mohamed Salah is set to become Jurgen Klopp's first summer signing with the Egyptian due to arrive in England for a medical on Tuesday.

Liverpool secured Champions League football on the final day of the Premier League season and Klopp is set for a bumper summer spend as he looks to assemble a squad capable of challenging both at home and in Europe next term.

And Roma wide-man Salah could be the first of seven new arrivals at Anfield in a deal understood to be worth in the region of £35million although that figure could rise with add-ons.

The 24-year-old Egyptian international scored 15 goals and added 11 assists as Roma finished second in Serie A this season and the move will see him return to England after a short spell with Chelsea between 2014 and 2016 where he made just 19 appearances.

Salah has agreed a deal which will see him double his weekly wages to around £90,000 per week.

Southampton’s Virgil van Dijk was Klopp's number one target but the Reds were forced to drop their interest after the Saints reported them for an illegal approach.

The German is expected to be busy this offseason with Chelsea’s Dominic Solanke already set to arrive at the end of his contract in a fortnight's time with a fee set to decided by tribunal.

Hull left-back Andrew Robertson is another target while RB Leipzig duo Naby Keita and Timo Werner have long been on Klopp's radar.
