Mohamed Salah, Egypt
Salah has been a regular with the national team since 2011. His first success in Europe came at Swiss club Basel, where he won the league in his first year there. A failed move to Chelsea followed, after which he moved to Serie A, where he has claimed accolades with Fiorentina and AS Roma, where he currently lines up.
The Pharaohs will be banking on his experience and pace to help them severely as they lack genuine quality in other areas. Salah’s performance in the upcoming tournament could have a vital say on his team’s progression into the next round. Along with Premier League players such as Elneny, Elmohamady and Ramadhan Sobhi, Salah will be looking to leave his mark on the tournament.
