Top 5 players in the Premier League this season

#2 Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah is the signing of the season in England

Liverpool was desperate to add pace to their game, as well as another top-scorer to their ranks, as they entered last summer's transfer market. And it is fair to say that they have managed to find both in one player, Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian has been outstanding right from the start, banging goals on a consistent basis all-season-long. With his ability to run behind the back of defenders and exploit space, he has been able to cement himself as a lethal source of danger in the final third. Salah is always looking to have a go at goal whenever there is half a chance, and that's what makes him so dangerous for any opposition.

Besides the 31 goals he has brilliantly scored, Salah is also on 9 assists in all competitions this term. With 40 direct involvements, he is quite certainly one of the hottest players in the European stage at the moment. The $51 millions that Liverpool paid to AS Roma in exchange for his services now seem like a bargain, by all means.

In addition to his impressive end-product, Salah is comfortable with the ball at his feet and is capable of shielding his ball under pressure instead of falling down. His stunning solo-goal against Tottenham is perhaps the best example.
