From the dusty pitches of El Mokawloon SC to the glowing lights of Anfield, Mohamed Salah’s story is 1 of resilience, evolution and relentless excellence.

Few could have imagined that the skinny winger from Egypt would one day stand within reach of becoming Liverpool’s greatest ever goalscorer.

After announcing himself at FC Basel, Salah’s short & turbulent spell at Chelsea led him to rebuild his career in Serie A, first with Fiorentina and later AS Roma.

His return to England in 2017, this time with Liverpool, transformed not only his career but also the club’s modern history ushering in new era of consistency, trophies and record breaking performances.

Liverpool’s All Time Top Scorers

Salah’s Scoring Record in Numbers

  • Premier League goals for Liverpool: 186 in 292 matches — the most in the club’s Premier League history.
  • All competitions: 248 goals in 407 appearances
  • Goals per game ratio: 0.61 — higher than any other player in Liverpool’s all time top 10.
  • Chasing history: Salah is now 98 goal behind Ian Rush’s record (346). At his current scoring rate, he could surpass it within roughly 161 match , a reachable milestone given his contract extension & sustained fitness.

Legacy beyond numbers

Mohamed Salah the Egyptian legend has already surpassed legends like Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler, Kenny Dalglish and Michael Owen, legends who have written their names in gold.

But Salah's story has already transcended statistics as he has become one of the most influential African players in the history of the English Premier League in particular and football in general coming from small Egyptian village (Nagrig).
