Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been named as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world for 2019.
Salah is one of the five sports persons on the list, alongside LeBron James (basketball), Tiger Woods (golf), Caster Semenya (athletics) and Alex Morgan (football).
Salah is enjoying a successful 2019 with Liverpool as they chase a Premier League title and a place in the Champions League final, but it was the 2017/18 season that brought him to the world’s attention and earned him a place on the Time list.
