Mohamed Salah is already enjoying the sixth best debut season of any Premier League player ever... but he's got some way to go to reach the No 1 spot!
The Liverpool forward has scored 23 goals and provided six assists this term, taking his goal involvements to a huge 31 in just 27 games.
His tally is clearly far better than most expected when he arrived from Roma for £39million in the summer, but he will have to keep improving if he wants the top spot.
