Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella is delighted with their swoop for Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah.
Salah arrived on-loan as part of Chelsea's swoop for Juan Cuadrado.
"Well, I think we pulled off a bit of coup ourselves in signing Salah," the former Fulham loanee said ahead of their Europa League tie with Tottenham.
"Joking aside, it is almost a side of professional pride that someone wanted to pay so much for Cuadrado and that he developed so much as a player.
"He certainly wasn't at that level when he first arrived to play for us, so I think us, the management, the players are very proud about how far he has been able to go with our help.
"But we haven't just replaced him with one player, we have replaced him with several players.
"Salah is a very good player, he is used to playing at this level and although he has only been with us a short while, he has already shown very quickly that he is certainly up to playing very well in Italy and playing well for us."
