#3 Mohamed Salah
No player ever played their debut season at a club the way Mohamed Salah is playing for Liverpool this season. The Egyptian is nothing but a revelation since his move to Anfield and is considered as the biggest threat to the Ronaldo-Messi Ballon d'Or dominance.
The Egyptian is in a brilliant form and already netted 32 Premier League goals this season. The club's top goalscorer in all competitions, he played a vital part in Liverpool's impressive run to the finals of Europe's elite club competition.
The former Chelsea man's tendency to shine in the big games brought a huge chunk of his strikes this term against the big sides. He won the Champions League's Player of the Week award on three occasions along with three Player of the Month accolades in England's top tier - the most by any player in a single season.
With Liverpool currently excelling in the Champions League and Egypt already sealing their place in the World Cup, Salah can ponder his chances to win the Ballon d'Or if he continues to maintain his impressive form all year long.
