Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah joined FC Basel in 2012, where he quickly achieved notable successes including two Swiss Super League titles during the 2012–13 season. His exceptional performance at Basel also saw him feature in the UEFA Europa League semifinals in 2012–13 and earned him the prestigious Swiss Golden Player award as the Super League’s outstanding player. Prior to his international move, Salah debuted in his senior football career in 2010 with Al-Mokawloon in the Egyptian Premier League, establishing a foundation built on speed and scoring ability. Salah’s career trajectory continued with a move to Chelsea FC in the Premier League in January 2014.

Salah has also been a prominent figure for the Egyptian national team, leading them to the Africa Cup of Nations final in 2017 and 2021, and helping them qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Salah’s exceptional achievements continued, becoming the first player in Premier League history to win the Golden Boot, Playmaker award, and Premier League Player of the Season award in a single season (2024–25). He secured the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup Golden Ball, won the Premier League Playmaker of the Season (2021–22), and contributed to Liverpool’s FA Community Shield win (2022) and EFL Cup victory (2023–24). Salah achieved the fastest Champions League hat-trick in 2022 and, by 2023, became Liverpool’s all-time top goalscorer in both European competitions and the Premier League, notably scoring his 200th goal for the club.

In 2024, he became the first player to score at least 20 goals in seven consecutive seasons for Liverpool, further solidifying his legacy with his 50th European goal for the club in 2025 and a record third PFA Players’ Player of the Year award in 2024–25.
