EPL: Pulisic names best player in Premier League this season

Chelsea ace Christian Pulisic has named Liverpool superstar, Mohamed Salah, as the best player in the Premier League this season.

The USA international also revealed his toughest opponent in the English top flight.

Pulisic said that while Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United is the best player he has faced since arriving at Stamford Bridge, Salah is the best player in the Premier League this year.

Salah has scored 22 goals in all competitions this season and has helped Liverpool climb to second in the league table and cruise into the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Asked to name the best player in the Premier League this season, Pulisic told Amazon Prime: “I think if you’re looking at our team there’s been some incredible performances, you look at Jorginho and N’Golo [Kante].

“But it’s hard to argue you with [Mohamed] Salah and what he’s accomplished. He’s a top guy too.”

On the best player he has faced in the Premier League, Pulisic added: “It’s hard to argue against Cristiano Ronaldo but there’s a lot of top players. He’s one of the best to do it but there’s so many.”
