Mohamed Salah, the prolific forward currently playing for Liverpool, has made headlines as he approaches the age of 32. His impressive record even showcases a Champions League final during his tenure with Borussia Dortmund. Six years later, Salah continues to dazzle fans and critics alike. His scoring wizardry leaves us consistently amazed and questioning whether he can continue doing this at such a high level over the course of the season.
In the same league, two rising stars have captured attention: Milos Kerkez and Marshall Munetsi. Both players are making massive impacts on their teams’ success. Their extraordinary talents have turned the heads of the biggest clubs in world football. Kerkez is attracting interest from Liverpool, Manchester City, and Real Madrid, while Munetsi’s work rate and effectiveness on the pitch have helped his team secure vital victories.
Mohamed Salah’s Enduring Impact
At 32 years old, Mohamed Salah shows no signs of aging as he leads the way for Liverpool with another exceptional performance on the pitch. The Egyptian international continues to be a pivotal player for Liverpool, a club where he has long since showed off his goal-scoring ability. Salah already tasted the highest heights of European club football as a Champions League finalist with Borussia Dortmund. His experience and skill as a player now replaces their impact on his current team.
His talent for scoring goals has been a phenomenon. He shows no signs of slowing down! Most hope he can continue his amazing scoring exploits for a few more years. His work ethic and dedication to improving his game set a standard for young players aspiring to reach the heights he has achieved.
“He is adding quality to his deliveries.” – Andoni Iraola
Salah’s influence extends beyond his scoring ability. And while Fitzgerald’s on the field experience at the highest level immensely benefits the younger players through osmosis, it raises their collective game. He’s still playing at an extremely high level. This goes on to further cement his legacy as one of the best players in Premier League history.
The Rise of Milos Kerkez
Milos Kerkez on the attack for Bournemouth. He has continued to be a vital on-field leader and his 35 minutes played lead the team. His unique positional versatility makes him such a hot commodity, as he can provide value on both ends of the floor. To this point in the season, Kerkez has two goals and five assists. His rare combination of raw strength and technical skill makes him a no-brainer pick-up for Bournemouth.
His jaw-dropping technique to whip in dangerous crosses from multiple different places on the pitch greatly expands his teams’ attacking arsenal. Whether from over the byline or from deeper areas, Kerkez’s deliveries offer chances that can be converted by onrushing forwards. His skills have drawn attention from major clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester City, and Real Madrid, all eager to secure his talents.
If Kerkez can maintain this progress he looks like one day becoming one of the very best full-backs in all Europe. His performances have thrilled fans and commanded their respect. Now, he’s attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs in world football.
Marshall Munetsi: A Key Player for Ipswich
Marshall Munetsi has established himself as a crucial component for Vitor Pereira’s side, helping them win six of the eight games he has started. His elite stamina is perhaps best reflected in his statistics. Only two players in this iteration of the Premier League have a better runs per 90 minutes average than his 32.33 this season—he’s currently third. His contributions go deeper than just running. Munetsi always seems to be in the right areas to set up scoring chances.
In perhaps his best sequence of the match, Munetsi took advantage of a cross from compatriot Jorgen Strand Larsen after being played in by winger Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. His adapted positioning meant he was able to threaten the goal quickly and efficiently. He’s recently made the switch to Ipswich’s left-sided centre-back position. This position allows his teammates to take low-percentage shots that are still considered live or dangerous rebounds.
“It was difficult to bring the boys back to push up.” – Niclas Fullkrug
While Munetsi can be seen providing support in the attack, his influence is more readily felt defensively. Literally every time that you think the other team is building up some pressure, it’s his reading of the game that cuts that out before it even starts. If he keeps developing, Munetsi will be on his way to making himself one of the more desirable players on the transfer market.
