Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah joined the Liverpool football club in the summer and he's been on fire ever since.  

Liverpool paid a club-record £39 million ($51.9 million) to Roma for the player - a decision questioned by critics, especially after his poor spell at Chelsea. 

But the 25-year-old winger has been a total nightmare for opposing defenders and continues to prove that his recruitment was an absolute bargain.

This season’s race for the Premier League Golden Boot is underway with the usual contenders - such as Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero - surging into an early lead. However, new names have been added into the mix this season. Most notably, Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.

Salah led Liverpool to secure an easy 3-0 win over Southampton in the 12th round of the Premier League by scoring twice and earning his spot on top of the Premier League scorers' list with nine goals in his first 12 Premiership games.
