Mohamed Salah stats show that he was better than Cristiano Ronaldo in 2021

Liverpool star, Mohamed Salah has established himself as arguably the best striker in the world at present, with the Egyptian icon proving to the world that he is the best player in the world currently.

The Egyptian has scored 15 goals in the Premier League so far with only a handful of forwards ahead of him in the goalscoring stakes, but what makes him even more deadlier is that he has registered nine assists so far, with the star only behind Bayern Munich's, Thomas Muller in the list.

The icing on the cake would be Liverpool outpacing the freight train that is Manchester City which has continued to pick up speed at the top of the domestic table, while also pushing Egypt to their 8th African Cup of Nations win (their 7 is the most in history) and first since 2010. But no matter what silverware falls his way come the end of the season, Mohamed Salah has come a long way from a failed stint at Chelsea.

The 29-year-old has been brilliant over the past four years, but the calendar year of 2021 has seen him even go to greater heights with the Egyptian scoring goals for fun and ensuring that he remains the most important player for the Reds.
