Mohamed Salah

The Egyptian speedster will lead Egypt's charge in the upcoming World Cup in Russia after he scored an injury time penalty against Congo to win the match and secure Egypt's qualification to the World Cup after an 18 year long absence.

Currently plying his trade for Liverpool, he forms one of Premier League's most devastating attacking trio at the moment with Coutinho and Mane. He is Liverpool's leading scorer in the Premier League and Champions League as of now.

Salah was Egypt's main threat during their World Cup qualifying campaign with 5 goals and 2 assists in 5 games for the Pharaohs. With 32 goals in 56 games for the Egyptians, Salah is on track to become Egypt's leading goal scorer of all time.

Primarily a winger, Salah posses blistering speed and can beat any defender on his day, he also boasts of some amazing dribbling skills, his footwork is what makes him a tricky winger to deal with. His finishing is top notch and is also quite versatile with an ability to play on both the flanks, as a shadow striker or as a false nine.

Salah alongside his talented group of teammates will look to spring a surprise or two during their time in Russia.
