2017-18 Premier League team of the season so far

Forwards

Right Winger: Mohamed Salah

Matches: 31, Assists: 9, Goals: 29, Big chances created: 10, Shot Accuracy: 49%

Mohamed Salah's signing is one of the bargains of the season

When Salah initially signed for Liverpool, fans were skeptical after his first stint in the Premier League with Chelsea was a failure. So people felt that the Reds had overpaid for him. He has however defied critics, and his transfer is arguably the best signing of the season.

The 'Egyptian Messi', who took his nation into the World Cup, is the darling of his country at the moment. He has found the back of the net 29 times, in addition to his 9 assists and has broken numerous records on the way.

He has already scored a Premier League record 23 goals for the season with his left foot. What's more stunning is that he has scored these goals from the right wing and not as a centre-forward.

His electric performances are keeping Liverpool ahead of the likes of Spurs and Chelsea, and he will remain crucial to the Reds' hopes of clinching a Champions League spot for next season and also their progress in this season's competition.

Salah, astoundingly, leads the charts for the Golden Boot in the Premier League and is also in the race for the Golden Shoe, for the most goals scored in the league in Europe. Quite aptly, the man he is tied with is none other than Lionel Messi himself.

Left Winger: Leroy Sane

Matches: 27, Recoveries: 105, Assists: 12, Goals: 9, Big chances created: 12, Shot Accuracy: 37%

Leroy Sane is one of the quickest players in the league

Leroy Sane, who was signed from Schalke in 2016, has put a slow start behind him to become one of the most creative attacking players in the Premier League this season.

His breathtaking pace, fabulous dribbling and ball control has left defenders terrified and gasping for breath. Under Guardiola's tutelage, Sane has gone on to become one of the most feared wingers in world football. There are claims that Sane is the fastest player in the Premier League.

With 9 goals and 12 assists to his name this season, the 22-year-old German is one of the favorites to win the PFA Young Player of the Year award. His performances over the course of the season have marked him out as one of the players to watch out in the talented German ranks at the World Cup this summer.

Unlucky to miss out: Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Son heung-Min (Tottenham Hotspur), Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur)

Centre-forward: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Matches: 31, Assists: 2, Goals: 24, Big chances created: 5, Shot Accuracy: 41%

Harry Kane became the second fastest player to score 100 Premier League goals

Harry Kane incredibly continues to improve season after season and has been placed among the bracket of best strikers on the planet this season. The winner of the Premier League Golden Boot in the previous two campaigns could well complete a hat-trick if he can finish the season on a high and catch up to Salah.

Initially called a one-season wonder and seen as a one-dimensional player, this man has worked tirelessly to establish himself as one of the most feared and sought-after forwards in world football.

Having found the back of the net on 24 occasions, he's almost single-handedly keeping Tottenham in the race for the Champions League spots next season. Spurs fans will hope their favorite son can stay for many years to come, as the massive clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona begin to set their eyes on Kane as one of their top targets.

Unlucky to miss out: Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United), Roberto Firmino (Liverpool)
