Ballon d'Or Power Ranking: January 2020

8. Mohamed Salah - Liverpool

Mohamed Salah has exhibited staggering levels of consistency since joining Liverpool in 2017

Mohamed Salah's rise to stardom since returning to Liverpool has been eventful, to say the least. The Egyptian arrived in Merseyside for a sum believed to be in the region of £36 million, a club record fee at the time and he took virtually no time to hit the ground running. Liverpool failed to win a trophy at the end of the 2017-18 season but individually, Salah was at the peak of his powers as he broke the long-standing Premier League record of most goals scored in a 38-game league season, with a staggering 32 goals to his name.

The 27-year-old ability to combine technique and doggedness with incredible elegance makes him the complete package and his record in front of goal is astounding. Despite joining the 6-time European champions in 2017, Salah is Liverpool's all-time top scorer of the decade with 84 goals and 2 Premier League Golden Boots to his name and in his time at the club, Jurgen Klopp's side have won the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.

With 13 goals and 7 assists to his name so far this season, Salah has delivered the goods consistently for the Reds as they look to end their 30-year wait for a league title. The Egyptian maestro has become a global superstar in recent season and he could well attain legendary status at Anfield if he spearheads the Merseyside giants to their maiden Premier League title.
