Salah would be raring to go this season

Mohamed Salah, who was lured by Liverpool from AS Roma last season lit up the Premier League with his mesmerizing skills and goal scoring. Salah was in exceptional form for Liverpool, as his performances in the European matches helped Liverpool reach the finals of the Champions League.

Primarily operating down the right channel, Salah’s insane speed, and impeccable dribbling abilities make him a fearful factor cutting inside. He usually functions in the space created in the centre by Roberto Firmino, feeding off through balls from Liverpool's central midfield.

After joining Liverpool, there were some noticeable improvements in his gameplay. Firstly, Salah was more assured and composed in front of goal, as he seemed to take most of his chances while creating a lot as well.

His footwork was thoroughly fascinating, as Salah juxtaposed the opposition with his brilliance whenever he gained the possession of the ball. Despite playing out wide, the Egyptian maestro won the Golden Boot last season with a record 32-strikes.

With the likes of Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri adding to Liverpool's creative side, there is no reason why Salah cannot repeat last season's heroics.
