Salah also favourite for PFA Player of the Year
Mo Salah doesn't just sit top of the Ballon d'Or winner market but the PFA Player of the Year one too with the Liverpool player clear favourite to win the award this year.
Salah is now just 2/7 to win PFA Player of the Year after his brace on Saturday against Bournemouth saw him pass the 20 goal mark this season.
The Egyptian King, as he is affectionately known as by Liverpool fans, has a 77.8% implied probability of winning the PFA POTY award for the third time in his career.

Rodri was crowned winner of 2024 Ballon d'Or
Manchester City midfielder Rodri was a shock winner of the 2024 Ballon d'Or after months of Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior sitting as favourite in the betting odds.
That all changed though on the morning of the 2024 ceremony where Rodri was backed into 1/12 for the Ballon d'Or after reports that he was set to be crowned winner.
Real Madrid then refused to send anyone to the show as a protest to Vini Jr not winning the award but that will likely change if Kylian Mbappe is on course to win the award this year.
Rodri finished 41 points clear of Vini Junior for the 2024 Ballon d'Or with Jude Bellingham following behind in third place.
