How Salah's Stats Rank Among Premier League Greats - Meritking News

Mohamed Salah has already reached double figures for goals and assists this season

Another week, another Mohamed Salah masterclass.

The Liverpool forward scored twice in Sunday’s thrilling 6-3 victory over Tottenham, overtaking Erling Haaland in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot. Salah’s 15 goals this season, paired with his league-leading 11 assists, make him a frontrunner to repeat his 2022 feat of winning both the Golden Boot and Playmaker awards.

As speculation swirls around Salah’s future—his contract expires this summer—the 32-year-old continues to shatter records, cementing his legacy in Premier League history.

Former Premier League goalkeeper Shay Given told BBC Match of the Day:
“He’s unbelievable. He’s a special, talented player. The big news around him is if he is going to stay or go. I don’t think they can afford to let him go.”

Salah’s Record-Breaking Form

This season, Salah has been in incredible form, scoring 12 goals in his past 12 matches and tallying 33 goal involvements across all competitions—more than any player in Europe’s top five leagues.

Here’s what Salah achieved at Tottenham:

First player to reach double figures in goals and assists before Christmas.
First player to achieve double figures in goals and assists for four consecutive seasons.
Sixth season with 10+ goals and 10+ assists, surpassing Wayne Rooney’s record of five.

What’s next? Salah aims to equal Thierry Henry’s record of finishing as Premier League top scorer four times. With 18 league goals in all seven of his Liverpool seasons, five more this campaign would make him just the fifth player with five 20-goal Premier League seasons.

How Salah Ranks Among All-Time Greats

Goals and Assists

Salah ranks eighth in Premier League all-time scoring with 172 goals.
He is tied with David Beckham on 80 assists, ranking 10th, and is closing in on Kevin De Bruyne’s second-place total of 114.

Goal Involvement

With 252 goal involvements in 279 appearances, Salah ranks seventh all-time.
His rate of a goal involvement every 1.1 games is better than any player ahead of him.

Liverpool Legacy

Salah is fourth on Liverpool’s all-time scoring list with 229 goals in 373 appearances.
At his current rate, Salah could surpass Andrew Cole (187 goals) to become the fourth-highest Premier League scorer by season’s end.

A Premier League Legend

Salah’s consistency and ability to perform in key moments place him among the all-time greats. His 252 Premier League goal involvements mean he’s only 65 behind Alan Shearer’s record of 324.

If Salah extends his contract, breaking Shearer’s record isn’t impossible.
