Liverpool v West Ham United - Premier League

No one in world football could have imagined the season Mo Salah is currently having with Liverpool after joining for a modest fee of £35 million from AS Roma.

The Italian club will feel bitterly disappointed that they sold him for what looks like peanuts now given the euphoric year the Egyptian King is undergoing in the North West of England.

Just the 31 goals and 11 assists this season in 37 games for the Reds, Salah has been instrumental in keeping Liverpool competitive in the race for a top-four finish as well as in the Champions League.

With such exciting talent in Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino around him, Salah can truly express himself on the pitch and pose a threat from all areas. His incredible turn of speed, low centre of gravity and sharpshooting skills make him the deadliest forward in the world right now - no defence will be enjoying the prospect of coming up against the Egyptian.

Salah might not have been as impressive with his former clubs, but he has now truly reached the level which was expected of him all those years ago and, given he is in prime years now at 25, the Egyptian international is going to be a menace in world football for years to come.
