'The relentless story of an unbelievable player and person' - STEVEN GERRARD
'Gets to the heart of the complex character that Mo Salah is' - NEIL ATKINSON, THE ANFIELD WRAP

Raw, authoritative and compelling, this is an intimate portrait of the Egyptian King - a biography that matches Mo's magnificent career.

Mohamed Salah is one of the greatest footballers of all time. Records have been battered and bettered with such ferocity that there is a special archive of stats under the headline 'Only Mo Salah'. Yet his influence and impact stretches far beyond just goals, triumphs and trophies. Salah is a cultural behemoth; a man who means many different things to a diverse spread of people across the globe - not least in Egypt, where he has become a symbol of hope. However, through all of the success and exposure, Salah has remained true to himself, despite being largely misunderstood.

In this extraordinary biography packed with untold stories, acclaimed football writer Melissa Reddy paints a true portrait of Salah by speaking to teammates, friends, coaches, his local community, sporting directors, backroom staff and more. Reddy explores how he beat the odds to transcend his humble background in rural Nagrig along with the early sacrifices that led him to Cairo and onto Basel, his true experience at Chelsea before his rebirth with Fiorentina and Roma, which allowed him to reach his full potential at Liverpool, where he made being extraordinary the norm. All of this while carrying Egypt's national team on his shoulders.

Alongside the success, there is an honest journey through Mo's lowest moments and missteps too, backlit by the millions of people leaning heavily on him. Only Mo Salah climbs well beyond how a kid from a remote village scaled unimaginable heights to become a history-maker on and off the pitch, it showcases why Salah has a formidable claim to being the most important footballer on the planet.©2026 Melissa Reddy (P)2026 Orion Publishing Group Limited

Kritikerstimmen

The relentless story of an unbelievable player and person.
A player bigger than the numbers, greater than any expectation.
The perfect person to write the book that gets to the heart of the complex character that Mo Salah is was always Melissa Reddy and she more than delivers.
Raw, authoritative and compelling, 'Only Mo Salah' paints an intriguing picture of the Egyptian King
Mohamed Salah's ascension from Al-Mokawloon to Anfield is already the stuff of legend, but in Melissa Reddy's comprehensive new book, we see the Egyptian icon cast in new lights still. From a shy trialist at Basel to the meteoric forward at Roma soaking up lessons from Michael Phelps and Francesco Totti, to the man who made the Kop his playground, it's a fascinating telling littered with insights from former team-mates and the people that helped make Salah the modern great that he is.
