New signing Mohamed Salah wants to blaze a trail for Arab footballers during his time with Chelsea, the Egypt winger said on Friday. The 2012 European champions signed the 21-year-old from Swiss club Basel this week as a replacement for Juan Mata following the Spain playmaker's move to Manchester United. "This is different because not many Arab people have played in Europe for the big teams and maybe many people there will now follow me," Salah told the club website. Going to Chelsea is fantastic for anyone and I hope I can play here always and have a good career." Salah was this week named the Swiss Football League Player of the Year by a panel of managers, captains and journalists and was voted by fans as their favourite player.
