The 26-year-old Egyptian has become one of the biggest names in football in the past year after a remarkable debut season for the Reds in which he scored a record 32 Premier League goals, while also leading Liverpool to the UEFA Champions League final.
He is joined on the list by fellow football icon Alex Morgan, who will be crucial for the United States this summer as they look to defend their FIFA Women’s World Cup title in France.
Japan’s Naomi Osaka is another of the 100 personalities recognised after her successive Grand Slam triumphs at the 2018 U.S. Open and 2019 Australian Open.
