Further evidence of Mohamed Salah ‘s growing status not just in England and Europe but around the world, with the Egyptian named in TIME magazine’s most influential people of 2019.


A list more recognised for featuring politicians, businesspeople and humanitarians, Salah is one of just five sports people in the 100, alongside LeBron James (basketball), Tiger Woods (golf), Caster Semenya (athletics) and Alex Morgan (women’s football).
