Any theories that ruled Salah to be a one-season wonder can rest in the bin now. The Egyptian is in fine form for the Merseysiders as they top the Premier League table, coming largely unscathed after a suffocating set of fixtures towards the end of December.

Salah scored 7 goals and provided 4 assists in the month of December. He's now being quite frequently used as a central striker and thanks to his poaching instincts, Klopp hasn't had to reconsider his decision. He continues to be a threat every time Liverpool regain possession and break on the counter.

If Salah can kick on in the same vein, he'll end up with an enviable amount of goals that will quite easily place him in the reckoning for football's biggest individual honour.
