The winger left the Seria A to link up with Jurgen Klopp at Anfield last summer and that move acted as a gamechanger in his career - with the 26-year-old quickly establishing himself as one of the finest attackers in Europe during the previous term.
Salah was unstoppable in Liverpool's European campaign last season, bagging an amazing 10 goals and 5 assists in 13 appearances to lead The Reds into the final of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in over a decade while also outclassing every attacker in the English Premier League with his 32 goals and 11 assists in 36 appearances.
The Egyptian maestro was breaking records upon records in the English top flight last season, including Alan Shearer's record for most Premier League goals in a single 38-game campaign and he, finished the term with a whopping 43 goals and 16 assists across all competitions while also helping his nation to qualify for the prestigious FIFA World Cup tournament for the first time after missing out for over 28 years.
