Mohamed Salah won a penalty and bundled home a goal within two second-half minutes of his Liverpool debut - a season-opening 3-3 draw at Watford - and the summer signing from Roma has barely stopped scoring since.

The pacey and versatile forward netted 10 Premier League goals in his first 13 games to equal Daniel Sturridge's club record and then scored a stunning match-winning brace against Leicester City to tally 23 goals before the New Year to match an LFC milestone set by Roger Hunt in the 1961-62 campaign.

Already a winner of four Standard Chartered Player of the Month awards, more records threaten to tumble at the thrillingly quick feet of Liverpool's No.11.

But it's not just at club level that Salah shines. He helped Egypt qualify for the 2018 World Cup and last week he was named the CAF African Player of the Year for 2017.
