“If you had asked me a few months ago who deserved this year’s accolade I would have said it must be De Bruyne,” he told The Telegraph.
“Especially given the massive gap between the champions-elect and the rest. It will be no surprise if City’s domestic dominance ensures their best player is rewarded.
“But with respect to the Belgian, the more I assess Salah’s contribution, the more I feel he deserves to push De Bruyne far closer than I imagined.
“He has the potential to go ahead in the next few weeks, particularly if he produces a match-winning performance at Old Trafford next weekend.
“Not so long ago I suggested no Liverpool signing has ever made a better start to their Premier League career than Salah. Now I will go further.
