Salah set to kick off African football year with award

In a World Cup year, African football has plenty to look forward to, but it will open 2018 with a glance back at the achievements of one of its stars. 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.
