Salah enjoyed a stellar 2018 as he led the goalscoring charts at home and in Europe.

He netted 44 times in all competitions last season.

And Salah's fine form saw Liverpool end up in the Champions League final, which they lost to Real Madrid.

Salah also represented Egypt at their first-ever World Cup in Russia.

And he has been putting in quality performances this season as well.

Salah has so far found the back of the net 16 times.

And Liverpool sit top of the table as they go in search of their first-ever Premier League title.

Salah picked up his award at a ceremony in Senegal, with Thembi Kgatlana named the women's winner.
