Why Liverpool MUST pay Mo Salah - Sam McGuire | OneFootball

The 32-year-old sits eighth on the goals list with 165. He’s on course to surpass Thierry Henry (175) by the end of the current campaign. He recently leapfrogged the former Arsenal legend in the assists table too after setting up Darwin Nunez’s opener in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Aston Villa. He’s now 13th on the list and the Egypt international needs just five more assists in the English top-flight to break into the top 10.

He also matched a long-standing Premier League record against the Villans on Saturday night.

Salah has now scored and assisted in the same game on 36 occasions. Wayne Rooney is the only other player to have achieved this. On current form, it won’t be long before the Liverpool No11 is the outright holder of this particular record.

The former Roma man is in unbelievable, almost unstoppable form.

In the Premier League, he leads the way for goal involvements this term with 14 having scored eight times and assisted six goals in his opening 11 appearances.

He’s also chipped in with one goal and four assists in the Champions League this term to take his haul to 19 goal involvements across 15 appearances in those two competitions.

Not bad for a one-season wonder, ey?

It makes the current situation even more galling.
