Liverpool Glory Would Boost Mohamed Salah's Ballon D'or Chances, Says Arne Slot

Arne Slot says Mohamed Salah will have a 'far better chance' of winning the Ballon d'Or if runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool win silverware this season.

The Egyptian superstar, 32, is favourite to win the award, regarded as the top individual prize in football, after a sensational campaign so far.

Salah, who is yet to sign a new deal to keep him at Anfield beyond the end of this season, has scored 30 goals and provided 21 assists in all competitions during the current campaign.

But Liverpool manager Slot said Tuesday that despite those stellar numbers, the club need to win major trophies to help their forward win his first Ballon d'Or.

'It's a good thing that Mo is in the discussion because it means he does well and it means we are doing well,' the Dutchman said on Tuesday.
