Mohamed Salah, Egypt
Popularly known as “Mo”, Mohamed Salah is an Egyptian professional footballer mainly playing as a forward although at times he can fill in as a winger. Currently, Mo plays for Liverpool in England and the Egyptian national team.
Aside from Liverpool, the 25-year-old superstar has played for several other international clubs, including Basel, Chelsea, Roma, and Fiorentina. Mo is known for his quick, mobile style of play, which is usually very tactful.
