Salah has linked up well with Mane up front for Liverpool
Mohamed Salah was sensational last season, finishing third in the 2018 Best FIFA Men's Player Awards and also winning the Premier League Golden Boot. Sadly, he failed to build on that performance at the start of this season, scoring just 3 goals in the first 8 games.

However, the Egyptian recovered in time to help Liverpool mount an exceptional title challenge and even though he has not been as brilliant as last season, Salah still is one of the best wingers in the Premier League right now.
The Egyptian has mostly operated in the forward right position, where he has able able to cut inside with great effect. Salah has also played through the center for Liverpool in quite a few games this season, displaying a versatility that has been essential for the Merseyside club's tactics. He is a speedy winger who likes to dribble and take on the defense; Salah has recorded 2.2 dribbles per game for Liverpool this season.
Salah has attempted 3.7 shots per game on an average this season. He has scored 26 goals from 49 games and also has 10 assists to his name. The Egyptian is leading the Golden Boot race with 22 goals from 37 appearances in the league and is third among the top 10 wingers this season.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.

Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life.

Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
