World-class footballer

Salah has been superb for Liverpool over the years, and there is no doubt that the former Chelsea man is a world-class footballer.

The 28-year-old scores goals and creates chances for his teammates, and he is a big reason why the Reds have won the Premier League and the Champions League in the past two seasons.

According to WhoScored, the former Chelsea attacking player has scored five goals in four Premier League games for the Reds so far this season.

During the 2019-20 campaign, Salah scored 19 goals and provided 10 assists in the league and scored four goals and provided two assists in the Champions League, according to WhoScored.

For Liverpool to win the Premier League and the Champions League this season, Salah will have to be on top of his game.
