Mohamed Salah is the best Liverpool player to play for Liverpool

Arguably the best Premier League player right now, Mohamed Salah is the best African player to ever wear the Liverpool shirt.

The Egyptian has been nothing but a revelation since his move to Anfield, and set a record of scoring the most number of goals (32 goals) in a 38 game Premier League season in 2017-18. He helped Liverpool reach the Champions League finals last campaign after ten years and was voted as the second best forward of the tournament.

The King of Egypt won the African Player of the Season 2017 accolade and was also Liverpool's Player of the Season 2017-18. He holds a number of Liverpool individual awards, being the fastest Liverpool player to score 40 goals, and most goals scored in a debut season by a player, just to name a few.

At 26, Salah is in the prime years of his career and is likely to spend those at Anfield after signing a new long-term deal with the club in July.
