A former Premier League star claims Mohamed Salah will win this year's Ballon d'Or but only if one condition is met.

Salah has been starring for the Reds this season after registering 30 goals and 22 assists in 39 matches across all competitions.

25 of those goals have come in the Premier League, where Liverpool currently lead second-place Arsenal by 13 points and former Tottenham Hotspur player Jamie O'Hara feels that will be enough for Salah to win the award.

"I think Mohamed Salah is nailed on for the Ballon d'Or if Liverpool win the Premier League. Who else is there to even compete with him? People may say Kylian Mbappe, but he's been getting stick for some of his performances since signing for Real Madrid and he hasn't been doing it for France," O'Hara told Grosvenor Sport.

"I've seen the debate about him playing for Egypt, but AFCON is still a major tournament. Yes, it's not the World Cup, but it's still an important competition and he has a chance of going a long way in that.

"He'll definitely win the Premier League Player of the Season award. I can't see another player getting anywhere near him. His numbers are just ridiculous – he steps up to the plate in big moments and carries his team through hard times. He's a world class player and a top professional.

"Liverpool are going to win the Premier League at a canter – they haven't even got out of second gear for most of the season and Salah's been the main part of what they've done. Fair play to him, because he's going to walk all the awards at the end of the campaign."
