The Egyptian forward made an immediate impact in his new colours, finding the back of the net twice to guide his side to victory in a closely contested encounter at the weekend.
Salah's double proved decisive in what turned out to be a competitive match against Basaksehir, who managed to pull one goal back but could not prevent Trabzonspor from claiming all three points.
The result marks a significant breakthrough for Trabzonspor after a sluggish start to their campaign, providing momentum as they look to mount a serious title challenge in the Turkish top flight.
Salah's arrival has been viewed as a major boost to the club's ambitions this season, and his immediate productivity on the field has already vindicated the investment in the 32-year-old attacker.
