Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was talking tough about Salah's chances of winning the Balon d’Or award this season.
According to the German tactician, Mohammed Salah would be a deserved winner for the upcoming award.
Jurgen Klopp shares concerns
However, amidst insisting that Salah is a deserved candidate, Jurgen Klopp went on to highlights that a certain factor may hinder the Egyptian winger.
Moving on, he went on to state that the fact that Mohammed Salah endured a trophyless season last time out may dampen his chances of success.
Highlights on Salah's previous season with Liverpool
The English top-flight team had to go through a record of injury concerns last season. However, Salah remained an integral part of the squad as they went all the way to the Champions League quarter-finals.
More to that, the Egyptian winger had the best record in terms of attacking stats for Liverpool. Scoring over 30 goals in 51 appearances for the English topflight team.
Salah remains a force to be reckoned with
Resuming this season, one would have expected a slow start from the 29-year-old Egyptian, bearing in mind he was quite sublime the previous season.
Yet, Salah was having none of it, he has once again started this season in magnificent form. With 10 goals in 10 games for the Merseyside red team.
With these statistics, it becomes easy to see why Jurgen Klopp is backing Mohammed Salah for the Balon d’Or award.
Conclusion
The contest for the World best player this year would be a keen one to watch. As many players gave a good accounting of themselves last season.
That being said, we keep our fingers crossed to see how events pan out.
