Salah crowned BBC African Footballer of the Year

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah was voted BBC African Footballer of the Year on Monday, according to BBC Sport. Salah’s performance this year — both with the British club and Egypt’s national team — has been stellar. Aside from being on a tear with Liverpool, he was the driving force behind Egypt qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in 28 years. Salah beat out Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Guinea’s Naby Keita, Sadio Mane of Senegal and Nigeria's Victor Moses for the award and becomes the third Egyptian to hold the honor, after Mohamed Barakat and Mohamed AbouTrika.
