Salah underwent his medical today and is due to complete a transfer worth in the region of €45m, including incentives and bonuses.

The hunt is on for a replacement and 25-year-old Swiss international Shaqiri was mentioned as a strong candidate, despite his poor spell at Inter.

“No, there is nothing in that,” chairman Peter Coates told the Stoke Sentinel when asked about the Roma rumours.

“There are no plans to sell him either. He seems very settled with us and towards the end of the season he came back (from injury) and did well.

“We are settled with him, too, and are hoping to see a good season from him next season.”
