Signed from Roma in 2017, many expected Salah to be a squad player who would only play on occasion. Salah has gone on to silence his critics and then some.

Known for his blistering pace and inch-perfect finishing, Salah has transformed into one of the world's best players since coming to Anfield. He hit the ground running almost immediately, racking up a historic 32 goals very first season.

Since then, Salah has been the picture of consistency. In his 203 appearances for Liverpool, Salah has bagged 125 goals and 47 assists. Boasting one of the best goal-per-minute ratios in Liverpool history, Salah is already a certified Kop legend.

Salah is consistently amongst the top scorers in the Premier League. In his four seasons with the club, he has won the Premier League Golden Boot two years in a row and finished second once.

Known for his immaculate finishing, Kane is one of the most composed forwards in the world. This season, Kane added another element to his game, taking upon the role of playmaker from time to time.

The Spurs captain was previously known for his goalscoring ability, but went on to shock viewers with his passing prowess. Forming a deadly partnership with Heung-Min Son, Kane notched up 14 assists over the course of the season.

Since the 2014-15 season, Kane has been ridiculously consistent. In the seven seasons since, Kane has scored 160 goals, the highest of any player during the same period.

Although he has yet to win any trophies with Spurs, his individual accolades are truly impressive. Kane has won the Premier League Golden Boot three times already, in addition to the FIFA World Cup Golden Boot he won in 2018.

With Spurs' recent appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo, Kane will be a vital figure in deciding their fate next season.
