Recall that Salah had a brief spell with Chelsea, He made just three appearances during Chelsea’s title-winning season in 2014-15 but under FA regulations, a minimum of five games is required to be eligible for a medal.
He spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Fiorentina, under manager José Mourinho before he was later sold to AS Roma.
Salah has reached a number of milestones during his time at Anfield – in 2018, he became the second fastest Liverpool player to reach 20 goals (just behind George Allan who managed the feat in 19 games in 1895/6); he also is one of the top 10 players who have reached 30 goals or more for the Reds in one season during the post-War years.
Meanwhile, his club team mates, Sadio Mané is the first Senegalese to pick up a Premier League winners’ medal and Naby Keita is the first Guinean player to win the English league.
