Liverpool: Mohamed Salah the man of the month for the Reds and Egypt
What probably sits close to Salah’s heart and will live long in his memory of accomplishments – is the late penalty that sent Egypt to the World Cup after failing to qualify for almost 30 years.
This could have been the final straw for the 25-year-old forward and helped received the most prestigious accolade of them all, The African Player of the Year!
Klopp and the rest of the team around Mo will hope he continues in this fine vein of form. This could help him drop his name in the hat for Player of the season in the English Premier League.

That’s if it’s not at the top of the list already. Liverpool previously only boasted, Sadio Mane as one of the best players in Africa, now they have both him and Salah at their disposal. It’s been a struggle for most teams this season to contain an attack made of these two lethal wingers.
What adds to this big Reds flame – Liverpool acquire the services of another one of Africa’s top players, Naby Keita. This might be the key ingredient missing in Liverpool struggle for winning results.
