#2 Mohamed Salah
Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah has been a big revelation this season. The attacker joined The Reds in the summer of 2017, and since then, he has impressed in every match. He has been one of the stand-out performers since the league began.

Great efforts also deserve great rewards. Salah is on course to claim the Premier League Golden Shoe, the European Golden Shoe as well as the PFA award. This incredible level of performance has earned him great remarks from football elites, with some experts claiming the Egyptian has reached Messi and Ronaldo's level.
But, while he stated that he is ambitious, he also dismissed that he has reached such a level. He said:
“I am ambitious but realistic,"
“I think I'm a long way off the biggest players in football like Messi and Ronaldo. I have to keep working hard."
When his coach, Jurgen Klopp was asked a similar question in a post-match conference, the trainer also refuted it, claiming that Salah does not want to be compared with Messi. He said:
"Yes, I think Mo is on the way,"
"That's good. I don't think Mo wants or anybody wants to be compared with Lionel Messi.
"He [Messi] is the one that is doing what he is doing for 20 years it feels like. The last player that I know who had that influence on a team performance was Diego Maradona I think, another Argentine guy.
"Mo is on a fantastic way, that's for sure. But how it always is in life, if you have the skills, then you have to show it, constantly. And his consistency is very good for us, he helps us a lot. The boys love playing together with him."
