Once seen as ‘The Egyptian Messi’ and then cast off as a ‘Chelsea Reject’, Mohamed Salah has gone through a lot by the age of 2015. He is, though, without doubt, one of the most exciting and clinical players of his generation and, like other stars of today, has proven Chelsea made a major mistake in letting him go!

 

The clinical Egyptian presently plays for Liverpool FC, where he’s become the fastest player to reach 25 goals in the clubs history. His exceptional quality in front of goal mixes perfectly with his outstanding movement, brilliant team play and tremendous dribbling capacity. He is without doubt among the top talents to watch in a game dominated by forwards.

 

With Salah, the thing that stands out most isn’t just his prowess in front of his, but his tactical astuteness. He can play in numerous positions and places across the forward line, and often links well with his teammates. At Roma, he was a fine foil for Edin Dzeko and at Liverpool he’s paired perfectly with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

 

The Egyptian is without doubt one of the most impressive talents aged 25 or under in the world. Having now become one of the top players in the league he was discarded from, Salah has become a go-to example of why a player should never be written off.

 

A move too soon to Chelsea of London seemed a major obstacle in his trajectory to the top, as did an uncomfortable exit from Fiorentina in a bid to push through his move to AS Roma.
