When asked to name the toughest player he has faced, Onana pointed to Salah.

He said, "I didn’t play directly against him, like not on a 1v1, but we played against Liverpool. And I think Mo Salah at the minute just is the main man.

"He’s really rapid, sharp, he’s got the finish, skillful, I think he’s got it all."

The Everton midfielder believes that Salah is on track to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or season.

“I think if he carries on what he’s doing, I think this might be a Ballon d’Or season."

Salah has been having an outstanding season, leading the Premier League in both goals and assists.

He has scored 27 goals and provided 17 assists in the league, and has netted 32 goals in 44 matches across all competitions, averaging 0.7 goals per match for Liverpool this season.
