But the comparisons are out there, so we took a closer look.

Mbeumo managed 20 goals and eight assists.

In his time as a winger, it never got any better than nine goals and eight assists, some 30 goal contributions off Salah's output.

Mbeumo doubled his expected goals tally last year, scoring 0.4 per game from an expected total of 0.2.
