Mo Salah, Mo Salah, Running down the wing. Sala la la la la, The Egyptian King
Mohamed Salah is making the hearts of Liverpool fans flutter with his unmatched pace of 30 goals and 8 assists in all competitions. He is one of highest scoring forwards in Europe with an attack that rivals the best in the world.
The twenty-five-year-old winger was brought over from AS Roma for a bargain of €35 million. While many doubted his finishing skills, he became the quickest Liverpool player to score twenty goals and has been the key to the team’s success in the Champions League. His nearly goal-a-game rate and incredible ball control have brought hope back to the Liverpool faithful after Philppe Coutinho’s switch to Barcelona.
Salah has helped Liverpool enter the round of 16 in the Champions League for the first time in nine years. He scored and assisted in the 5-0 destruction of a previously undefeated Porto side. This triumph over an undefeated home team is making Liverpool fans dream of Champions League glory.

Rumors are currently circulating about a €80 million proposal to bring the Egyptian to Real Madrid as a replacement for Gareth Bale or an aging Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite much talk, the player states that “I am happy here in Liverpool. It’s great to play for the team I liked as a child“. Mohamed is a world class talent exceeding expectations in a well-knit Liverpool side. Liverpool may have suffered from a trophy drought the last decade but Salah and the squad are ready to turn “doubters into dreamers.“
