#1 Mohamed Salah (2017-18) - Liverpool
Mohamed Salah scored 32 goals in 36 games last season, which broke the record for the most goals scored in a 38-game Premier League campaign. He has found himself catapulted from the depths of obscurity with Chelsea and Roma to being nominated for major footballing awards, thanks to his sublime performances for Liverpool.
He remains with Liverpool after having signed a new five-year contract, which hikes his wages-per-week up to £200,000.
