Salah set to kick off African football year with award

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is expected to be crowned African Player of the Year in Ghana on Thursday when the African Football Confederation (CAF) season kicks off. Apart from 17 Premier League goals in the first half of the season -- a feat bettered only by Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur -- Salah starred as Egypt qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1990.
