#5 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
Mohamed Salah ahead of Messi? Well yes, you read right. The Egyptian is the highest goal scorer in the English Premier League this season with 13 goals.
Salah has been magisterial so far this season, spearheading a Liverpool attack that before his arrival was already packed and in the process, making his teammates look less spectacular.
He has shown his potential in a way that puts Chelsea's treatment of him in a different light. He has shown improvements in shooting, dribbling, and positioning and could well end the season as the highest goal scorer in the Premier League.
His 5 Champions League goals are nothing to scoff at as well. He was instrumental in their 1-1 draw to Chelsea in the Premier League, scoring the Reds' only goal.
He also scored a hat-trick in their 7-0 Champions League demolition of Spartak Moscow.
