Salah has been instrumental to Liverpool’s success over the last 8 years and was key to their Premier League success in 2019/20 and scored in the Champions League final of 2019 where they won 2-0 versus fellow English side Tottenham Hotspur. Salah is the top scorer in the league this season as he hopes to once again help guide Liverpool to their second Premier League title. Let’s look at his career to this point and the records he has broken this season, as well as what the future holds for the Egyptian King.

He scored in the 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, netted in the 2-0 home win against Manchester City, and delivered a late equalizer in the 2-2 draw against title contenders Arsenal in October. This athlete's momentum continues as he recently scored twice in a vital 2-0 away win against Bournemouth last Saturday.

This season marks Salah's fifth with over 20 goals, a milestone shared only by legends Thierry Henry, Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero, and Alan Shearer. Additionally, Salah has now achieved a remarkable 20+ goals and 10+ assists in a Premier League season for the third time—a record unmatched by any player, with Thierry Henry accomplishing it twice.

Mo Salah, Premier League legend

Mo Salah is not only a Liverpool legend he is a Premier League legend, and will go down as one of the finest wingers to play in the Premier League. Salah has moved into 10th on the list of all time Premier League assists. The Right-winger has 82 assists in his Premier League career, and is just 7 and 10 behind fellow Liverpool legends James Milner and Steven Gerrard, doing all this in significantly less time.

Salah has recently climbed to 6th place on the all-time Premier League goals list, surpassing Frank Lampard with 178 goals. With more games left this season, he is poised to increase his tally. Salah is just six goals behind Sergio Aguero, who holds 5th place, and if he surpasses Aguero, he will become the Premier League's highest-scoring non-English player—a remarkable achievement for someone who plays as a winger rather than a striker.

Mo Salah’ Future

Mo Salah’s Liverpool contract runs out at the end of the season and he has yet to sign an extension at the club. The footballer has been linked with a potential move to the Saudi Pro League, a common consideration for players like Salah at 32.

However, Salah is far from typical. Approaching 33 this summer, he continues to excel at the highest level, arguably improving with age, as evidenced by his performance this season. Not only is he a prolific goal scorer, but he's also a dynamic creator. If he chooses to remain at Liverpool, he may continue to shatter records, solidifying his legacy as the Egyptian King.
