World Cup Top Goalscorer Betting Preview: Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah - Egypt

Mohamed Salah's scoring exploits since signing for Liverpool have been nothing short of incredible.

32 goals was not only enough to win the Golden Boot prize ahead of previous holder Harry Kane but also set a new 38-game season record, surpassing both Alan Shearer and club legend Ian Rush in the process.

There were another 12 strikes in cup competitions with 11 coming in the Champions League (including qualifiers) as Jurgen Klopp's men powered their way into the final in Kiev.

The campaign ended on a sour note though and Salah's World Cup dreams looked to be in the balance after suffering a shoulder injury in the showpiece finale but the 25-year-old says he is confident of being fit for the tournament.

Five goals in five games made the Reds frontman the top scorer in the final round of African qualifying helped his country to a first World Cup finals in 28 years and his total of 33 in 57 senior international games make Salah the main threat for The Pharaohs.

Despite a brilliant campaign in front of goal, doubts over Egypt's tournament prospects combined with lingering fitness doubts mean punters might well begin to look elsewhere for a bigger priced top goalscorer selection, at least until the questions over Salah's participation are resolved.
