Arsene Wenger believes Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior will have something to say about Mohamed Salah potentially winning the Ballon d'Or this year.

Salah is the favorite to win the gong in 2025 as a result of his remarkable form for Liverpool since the start of this season, with the Egyptian currently topping the European Golden Shoe charts with 25 Premier League goals to his name.

The 32-year-old has also racked up more assists (16) than any other player in Europe's top five leagues (Barcelona's Lamine Yamal is second with 12), and against Manchester City on Sunday he scored and assisted in the same league game for the 11th time in 27 league appearances this season.
