#3 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - £166.6 million
What more is there to say about Salah that hasn’t already been said? Big things were expected from the Egyptian winger when he joined Liverpool last summer, but nobody could have predicted the level of success that he has had in English football. Last season, he scored 32 league goals, the most by any player in a 38-game Premier League season.
He is the key member of Liverpool’s front three, and this was shown by how his side suffered when he was taken off in the Champions League Final against Real Madrid with a dislocated shoulder. The 26-year-old has flourished since leaving Chelsea in 2015, and after spells with Fiorentina and Roma, he has become a genuine world-class player.
