Ronaldo and Harry Kane have both had a magnificent year

2017 has definitely been a great year, and it will be remembered by players, fans, and managers alike.

With records broken and new ones set, the excitement for the coming year and the promise of football to come along is already being anticipated.

A lot of players have made the year memorable for the viewers of football, but in this piece, we will be taking a look at five players who set new goalscoring records.


#5 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Liverpool v Chelsea - Premier League
The signing of the season?

Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp will be more than happy with the signing of Mo Salah, an investment that has proved to be the best this season.

The 25-year-old has been in electric form since making the switch from AS Roma to England and has definitely repaid the fees after Liverpool splashed the cash to make him their record signing.

Salah has justified the tag of the "signing of the season" and will hope to continue his form into 2018.

The Egyptian's record of 9 goals in 12 outings, beat the long-standing record of Kop legend Robbie Fowler's 8 goals in the same number of games. He also matched Daniel Sturridge's club record for most Premier League goals after the first 13 outings.

Salah is favourite to win the CAF player of the year award, after being named BBC African player of the year and will hope next year brings better fortunes.

Just months into his Reds career, Salah is looking set to etch his name into the history books of Liverpool and the football world at large.
