Liverpool’s 2017 signing, Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool signed Mohamed Salah for a reported fee of £36.9 million from Italian outfit, AS Roma, in the 2017/18 season. In his first season at Anfield, he scored 50 goals and 14 assists across all the competition.
He raised the standards of the Premier League and broke the record for most goals in a single season with 31 goals. In the next season, the Egyptian King scored 30 G/A for his club and topped the charts.
Mohamed Salah is not only about goals. He has created chances for Merseysiders in the 2019/20 season. Across 27 games, the player has assisted seven times. The stalemate in the Merseyside derby underlined the importance of Egyptian international who was an unused substitute.
The one that started it all, Sadio Mane
The Senegalese international has been the savior for Liverpool across all the competitions. The hallmark of a champion side is not only to perform well but to perform well when it’s much required.
Sadio Mane has stood to these words and performed for his manager in crucial matches. He has been one of the best players for his club since he arrived from Southampton. In the current season, the player showed his all-round capabilities with 22G/A for his side.
These stats have supported the club in a big way. Sadio Mane’s goals and assists kept Liverpool on the right track whenever the club seemed to fall off the title chase.
