Where do all these numbers leave Salah when we talk about some of the Premier League’s great forwards?<\/p>\n
Salah can already be thought of as a Liverpool legend, having won every major trophy with the club.<\/p>\n
He is fourth on their list of all-time scorers with 229 goals in 373 appearances, only 12 behind third-placed Gordon Hodgson.<\/p>\n
Roger Hunt (285) and Ian Rush (346) are some way aheah and, at his current goals-per-game average, Salah would need another 190 appearances to break that record. Unlikely.<\/p>\n
In terms of Premier League greats, Salah is already right up there with 172 goals, the eighth top scorer.<\/p>\n
In fact, his 229 goals in all competitions for Liverpool have come four games quicker than Thierry Henry’s 228 for Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Salah is only 15 goals behind fourth top scorer Andrew Cole – not an impossible target by the end of this campaign.<\/p>\n
What about assists? Salah pulled level with David Beckham’s 80 in 10th place on Sunday. He is only 34 assists behind second-placed Kevin de Bruyne.<\/p>\n
The Premier League’s leading assist-maker, Ryan Giggs, is way ahead on 162 but played 353 more games than Salah currently has.<\/p>\n
When you put the goals and assists together, Salah ranks even higher.<\/p>\n
His 252 goal involvements in 279 Premier League appearances is seventh in the all-time list and his rate of a goal involvement every 1.1 games is better than every player ahead of him.<\/p>\n
At his current rate, Salah would catch Alan Shearer’s record of 324 goal involvements in 65 more appearances.<\/p>\n
Sign a new contract and it’s not impossible, surely?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
