Dembele is fav I think. 

Dembele has the "redemption factor", bit of a flop at Barca and now turned it around at PSG. If it was the Oscars he'd definitely win.

Legend. That word is thrown around loosely by some people but Mo is without a doubt in that category along with Virgil.

Maybe if Inter win the big one, Mo gets it - biggest, hardest one to win & all that. Plus over the balance of 8 seasons he deserves it - Oscars style, you sometimes win it because it's 'your turn'

Salah is fifth in the Premier League all-time scorers list. 3rd by the end of next season probably.

1 behind Cole, 22 behind Rooney and 27 behind Kane, so 2nd next season unlikely but not impossible - unlikely to ever catch Shearer for 1st as he's 73 behind. 

Needs another 41 to overtake Hunt for 2nd all-time for Liverpool
