Having experienced a difficult spell at Chelsea when he first arrived on English shores, a move to Liverpool in 2018 has transformed the legacy of the Egyptian superstar.
Salah has become one of the best players in the world across the 394 games he has featured in for the Merseyside club, producing 243 goals and 111 assists, while winning every trophy possible at Anfield.
Liverpool tied Salah down to a new contract on Friday and the winger will continue to add to his legacy in the Premier League over the next two years.

“He can play as a nine and on the wing, he is a very skillful player, and he has had a big impact on Tottenham.”
When it comes to the best wingers in the history of the Premier League, names such as Ryan Giggs, Eden Hazard and David Beckham come to mind.
Although the game was different when all of these players played, there is a strong case that Salah is the best winger the Premier League has ever seen.
