Ian Wright: Mohamed Salah has a 'very good chance' to win Ballon d'Or

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has tipped Mohamed Salah to win the Ballon d'Or if he guides Liverpool to Uefa Champions League glory.

The 25-year-old’s tremendous goalscoring run has put him in the running to challenge Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo for the world’s most prestigious individual award.

Salah has been in an awe-inspiring form in his debut campaign with the Reds, scoring 43 goals in 47 games across all competitions.

The Egypt international became the highest scoring African player in a single Champions League season [10] after netting a brace in his side’s 5-2 defeat of Roma on Tuesday.
