Inter Milan are leading the race to sign Chelsea attacker Mohamed Salah, according to Tuttosport.

The speedy winger was in superb form for Serie A side Fiorentina last season as he spent a six month loan away from Stamford Bridge.

The Egyptian became an instant hit in Florence and provided a suitable replacement for Juan Cuadrado, who departed the club at the same time for Chelsea.

Aged 22, Salah is not expected to be given a chance to prove himself under Jose Mourinho and has been linked with a second loan spell with Fiorentina.

However, it is understood that a potential change in management has led to doubts over such a deal.

Inter Milan are now keen to make a move, indicating a liking of the youngster, who sent Tottenham Hotspur crashing out of the Europa League and ended Juventus’ 47 game unbeaten run at the Juventus stadium.
