#1 Mohamed Salah - Liverpool

Salah is ruling Europe this season

Mohamed Salah is an undisputed number 1 on this list. The Egyptian has been a revelation in European football this season, taking Liverpool to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. They are also third in the Premier League standings, only behind the Manchester clubs.

The 25-year-old has scored 30 goals in the Premier League and 8 in the Champions League so far. Liverpool have defeated the Premier League champions Manchester City thrice this season, thanks to some brilliant football by the Egyptian. He averages 86 mins per goal in the Premier League this season.

He has been ruthless in front of goal throughout the season and exceptional with his positioning. His first touch and ball control are simply phenomenal. He has primarily played on the right flank for Liverpool and is brilliant with his dribbling. He has every chance of breaking Messi and Ronaldo's Ballon d’Or domination this year.
