Egyptian and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been voted BBC African footballer of the year for 2017.

Salah won ahead of Gabon’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Guinean Naby Keita, Sadio mane of Senegal and Nigeria’s victor Moses in the votes

Salah, the Premier League’s top scorer with 13 goals, has enjoyed a stellar year for both club and country.

In early 2017, the forward was the central figure for Egypt as they finished runners-up at the Africa Cup of Nations.

He also had a hand in all seven of the goals that took the pharaohs to their first world cup since 1990 – assisting two and scoring five, including the stoppage-time penalty against Congo that qualified them for Russia.

He scored 15 goals and made 11 others as he helped Roma finish second in Serie A, their best league placing in seven years, prior to joining Liverpool and scoring 13 times in his first 16 league games.
