Top 5 Underpaid Footballers in the World

Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League
Eriksen is one of the best creative midfielders in the game

#1 Mohamed Salah- £120,000/week

Liverpool v West Ham United - Premier League
Salah has been tearing it up in the Premier League

This is bound to change. This has to change. When he came to England last summer to join Liverpool, the press ridiculed Klopp for signing a 'headless chicken'. Mo Salah has gone on to make his critics eat their words and sing praises about him.

Salah has been on an entirely different league altogether. He has broken the Premier League record for the most number of goals in a single season after overtaking the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Alan Shearer!

Mo Salah is not underpaid in the purest sense of the term, but for a player who has scored 43 goals and provided 14 assists for his club across all competitions in a single season, he earns way too less especially when someone like Alexis Sanchez who has had an underwhelming season earns thrice as much at Manchester United.

Mo Salah is easily in the running for the Ballon d'Or this season and if he goes on to win the Champions League, he might just win it. His fellow competitors, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, earn twice or thrice as much as him.
