Mohammed Salah has taken the Premier League by storm

Mohamed Salah has the world at his feet at the moment, thanks to his swashbuckling performances for Liverpool this season. A number of heavyweights will surely be lining up mega-money moves for the Egyptian in the coming summer.

Of all the players on this list, Salah gets the closest to Gareth Bale in terms of style of play. The Egyptian boasts blistering pace and flair which he uses to beat the defenders, playing on the right, much like the Welshman himself. Added to that, Salah has a keen eye for goal, having scored 24 goals in 31 appearances in all competitions. He is currently involved in a tussle with Harry Kane for this season's Premier League Golden Boot.

The problem is, Liverpool will be fighting tooth and nail to keep their star, having lost Coutinho to Barcelona this winter. But, by flexing their financial muscle, Real Madrid always get the players they desire, don't they?
