Liverpool ace, Mohamed Salah has said he wants to win the Ballon d’Or for his people.

Salah has been incredible for the Reds so far this season.

The Egyptian international has netted 33 goals and provided 23 assists in just 49 games for Arne Slot’s side.

He helped Liverpool win their 20th league title this season.

But Liverpool’s Champions League and Carabao Cup exits have gone against Salah’s Ballon d’Or prospects.

Speaking with France Football, Salah, 32, said (via GFFN): “It’s not in my hands but obviously, one day I would like to win the Ballon d’Or for my people.

“When you come from a village in Egypt, as a child, it is difficult to dream of the Ballon d’Or.

“It was when I came to Liverpool that I started to think that, maybe, one day… But if I don’t win it, my career will still be successful.

“I’m only 32, several winners in recent years have been in their thirties. So, who knows? And then, next season promises to be exciting with the defence of our title with Liverpool and the Champions League, the CAN with Egypt and the World Cup.”

EPL: Sign Osimhen instead of Gyokeres – Ferdinand advises Man United

Rio Ferdinand

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has advised his former club to sign Victor Osimhen instead of Viktor Gyokeres.

The Red Devils are in search of more firepower upfront after an underwhelming campaign.

The duo of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failed to deliver the goods, with United finishing in a disappointing 15th position on the table.

Ruben Amorim’s side also lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the final of the UEFA Europa League.

Gyokeres, who had an outstanding campaign for Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon, has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

The forward scored 39 goals and registered eight assists to help Sporting Lisbon clinch the Portuguese League title.

Despite his impressive form in front of goal, Ferdinand believed Osimhen would be a better fit for his old club.

“I think Gyokeres, everyone’s talking about him. Again, I think if I’m looking at the market now and I had to pick him or Osimhen, I’d probably pick Osimhen because of that experience,” the former England international told the Mirror.
