Ballon d'Or Power Rankings: February 2018

#4 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Salah has redeemed himself as a top player

Mohamed Salah was named Africa's Player of the Year and he keeps proving why he was given that award. Liverpool may have lost Coutinho but it doesn't look like impacting them much because they've got Salah.

Mohamed Salah signed for Liverpool at the beginning of the season and this was his second shot at the Premier League and he has taken off like an Olympic sprinter in his second chance.

Literally, no one can catch Salah when he is running on the right flank and he's been running circles around the Premier League's best defenses. Salah's goal tally of 22 is even more impressive considering he plays as a winger and his 7 assists alongside mean that he only comes in behind Harry Kane in the list of top scorers this season.

In Champions League - with 5 goals, he has helped Liverpool to progress to the knockout rounds. If he keeps it up, there's a legitimate chance he might become just the second African player in history to win the Ballon d'Or following in the footsteps of new Liberia President George Weah.
