Mohamed Salah has been told he is one just two players capable of winning the Ballon d’Or this season.
The 32-year-old has scored 26 goals and notched 18 assists this term, with the Reds challenging for the Premier League and Champions League under Arne Slot.
The Merseysiders are also in the Carabao Cup final, meaning they have an opportunity to lift three individual pieces of silverware come the end of the season.
