The Egyptian winger has flown out of the blocks since joining Liverpool.

The November international break is a checkpoint which signals that we are roughly a third of the way through the season.

This is, in most cases, a long enough time for judgements to be made on the millions of pounds worth of summer signings.

Here we take a closer look at Liverpool’s flying winger Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian is completely unrecognisable from the player who failed to make an impact at Chelsea two years ago.

He marked his Reds debut with a goal against Watford and has not looked back since.

In total, Salah has 12 goals in 17 appearance for Liverpool – a phenomenal record from the right wing – and yet there is still room for improvement with his finishing.

His lightning pace has struck fear into Premier League defences and was on full display for devastating counter-attack goals against Arsenal and West Ham United.

The season has six months to go and already Salah is only three shy of becoming Liverpool’s leading scorer in a single season since Luis Suarez left back in 2014.

According to BBC Sport, the 25-year-old cost the Reds £34m from Roma. Based on his start to life at Liverpool, he would go for triple that amount if he was up for sale again.

Neither he, Jurgen Klopp or the Liverpool fans could have wished for a bigger impact.
