As the FIFA world cup draws nearer, apart from the prominent names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Messi, another name has been the talk of the football fraternity in recent times – Mohamed Salah. Having scored over 140 goals in just 217 games for Liverpool, Salah is said to be approaching the same level as Ronaldo, his Portuguese teammate.
Born and brought up in Gharbia, Egypt, Salah has been a gifted footballer since he was a child. He debuted in football at the mere age of 14 when he joined the youth team of ‘Al Mohawloon’. In 2010, he joined the club’s senior team in the ‘Egyptian Premier League’ two years after which he was transferred to ‘FC Basel’, a Swiss football club. Today, he not only plays as a forward for the Egyptian national team but also for the Premier League club ‘Liverpool’.
