Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool as all-time great & iconic Premier League figure

In the Premier League, he has made 310 appearances for Liverpool, with 189 goals and 92 assists. This total of 281 goal contributions is the biggest for one club in Premier League history, five more than Wayne Rooney for Manchester United.

Salah possessed the selfish, ruthless streak that is common among all the greats, but the assists figure alone demonstrates he was also a team contributor.

He put down his marker in a stellar first season, scoring 44 goals and contributing 14 assists in 52 appearances. The campaign ended in tears, however, after he injured his shoulder when challenged by Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos in the Champions League final, lasting only 31 minutes of a 3-1 loss in Kiev.

He only had to wait a year for Champions League final redemption, scoring an early penalty when Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-0 in Madrid.

Salah formed one part of an attacking trident that was as potent as anything in world football at the time, alongside Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

He raided from the right, Mane patrolled the left, while Firmino could play as a striker or drop deep to add subtle brushstrokes to a fluid, devastating combination.

It was the perfect marriage of pressing, power, skill, pace and threat. Salah and Mane were not always compatible as personalities but on the pitch they were perfectly in tune with each other, aided by the graceful Brazilian Firmino.

Salah’s consistency and fitness was remarkable. His lowest goals total in a full season before this current campaign came in 2019-20 when he ‘only’ scored 23 as Liverpool won the title for the first time in 30 years.

In his Liverpool career, Salah’s win rate from 310 Premier League appearances is 63.9%, while from his total of 435 games it is 62.7% – a reflection of glorious years for club and player.
