#4 Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah has been breaking records left, right and centre since his move to Liverpool at the start of the season.
He eviscerated the competition in the race for the Golden Boot, finishing with a whopping 32 goals in the Premier League (the most by a player in a season), also winning the PFA Player of the Year for his scintillating displays.
He has also led Liverpool to the final of the Champions League and will be looking to get one over on Ronaldo by pipping him to the trophy. If Salah does indeed inspire the Reds to the cup, he will surely overtake Ronaldo in the race for the Ballon d'Or.
