Liverpool's star winger Mohamed Salah gets a strong Ballon d'Or endorsement from Brazilian Football legend, Rivaldo.

As one of Liverpool's core members in recent years, Mo Salah is the fastest Liverpool player to score 100 goals for the club. The Egyptian has had an incredible season so far, scoring nine goals in nine total matches for the Reds.

However, Salah's chances at winning the award may be difficult. The other 30 nominees boast tremendous talent. Players like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, including Champions League and Euro 2020 winner Jorginho are part of the prestigious pool.

Despite the stacked lineup of nominees, Brazilian legend Rivaldo heavily endorsed his faith in the Egyptian King.

“He's one of the best players in the world right now because his astonishing numbers in terms of goals and assists are obtained in the Premier League and Champions League, two of the most difficult competitions in the planet,”Rivaldo, an ambassador for Betfair, wrote.

With the departure of Messi and Ronaldo from Spain's La Liga, many fans consider the Premier League as the most competitive Football league in the world.

“When you are so good in demanding conditions, then of course you are a top player who deserves to be among the contenders for the Ballon d'Or this season.”

Salah's incredible start to the season may increase Liverpool's chances of garnering trophies this year. However, The Egyptian King may have to go through a high level of competition along his way, just to have a significant chance in bagging the prestigious award.
