#5 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool / Egypt)
For a long time, it seemed like the Premier League record for most goals in a season would never be broken. Alan Shearer (Blackburn Rovers), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), and Luis Suarez (Liverpool) had all scored 31 league goals in a season but no more.

Then came Mohamed Salah. Not many expected the Egyptian forward to impress immediately given his travails at Chelsea a few years ago but he was on a mission to silence doubters.
Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool scored 84 goals (second only to Manchester City) with the trio of Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane working wonders.

With 32 goals, Salah walked away with the Premier League Golden Boot. He also led the Reds to the Champions League final with 10 goals (the same as Firmino and Mane) - second only to Ronaldo.
Sadly, a shoulder injury in the final prevented Liverpool from repeating their 2005 success as an early substitution saw the Reds lose their main attacking threat before surrendering to Real Madrid.
It prevented Salah from playing the first group game at the World Cup and even though he scored in the next two games, Egypt weren't good enough to progress to the knockout stages.
