The forward, who is currently representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations, was in scintillating form during a month that he began with a clinically finished brace in the Reds’ 4-1 Premier League victory at Goodison Park.
Salah next brilliantly set up Divock Origi’s winner at Wolverhampton Wanderers and then provided the equaliser in the 2-1 success over AC Milan in the Champions League.
He went on to convert a match-winning penalty against Aston Villa and net as the Reds came from behind to defeat Newcastle United at Anfield, as he started seven games in December.
