Former Arsenal defender, Martin Keown, has tipped Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah, to win the Premier League’s Golden Boot this season.
The 27-year-old, who has scored 57 league goals since joining from Roma in 2017, won the award during his first season at Anfield.
Salah claimed the Golden Boot again last year, but was forced to share it alongside Reds team-mate Sadio Mane and Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, after all three players finished with 22 goals.
The Egyptian has already scored three goals this season and Keown, who is expecting Liverpool to win the title, has backed him to outscore Mane come the end the season.
“If Liverpool are going to be champions, it has to be Mohamed Salah.
“He will pip Sadio Mane this season, and I’m sure Klopp won’t have let those two leave Turf Moor on Saturday without dealing with their squabble.
“Salah went through a spell where he struggled to score last season, but I see more in his play this year than I have before,” Keown wrote in the Daily Mail.
