While the Premier League enjoys an international hiatus, Liverpool fans have been hit the huge news of Mohamed Salah’s departure from Anfield.
Since arriving from Roma in 2017, the “Egyptian King” hasn’t just broken records; he has rewritten the entire history book of Liverpool football club. We’ve broken down the seven most mind-blowing numbers that define his Anfield legacy.
1. 255 – Third overall
Salah has officially moved into the top three of Liverpool’s greatest-ever goalscorers in all competitions. With 255 goals, he has surpassed legends like Billy Liddell and Gordon Hodgson. He now only trails the iconic Roger Hunt (285) and the seemingly untouchable Ian Rush (346).
2. 189 – Single-Club Premier League Greatness
When it comes to scoring for a single club in the Premier League era, Salah is in elite company. His 189 goals for Liverpool have seen him overtake Sergio Aguero (184 for Man City) and Wayne Rooney (183 for Man Utd).
Currently, only Harry Kane (213 for Tottenham) sits ahead of him.
3. 52 – The King of Europe
Salah’s impact on the continent is unmatched. He has now notched 52 major European goals for Liverpool, the most by any player for a single English club. He leads the likes of Thierry Henry (42 for Arsenal) and Didier Drogba (36 for Chelsea) by a significant margin.
On the all-time European list for a single club, he is behind giants like Raul (66 for Real Madrid) and Robert Lewandowski (69 for Bayern).
4. 92 – The Playmaker
It’s not just about the goals. Salah has recorded 92 Premier League assists, a number that officially draws him level with the legendary Steven Gerrard. This stat silences any talk of Salah being “selfish”, proving he is as much a creator as he is a finisher.
5. 47 – The 2024/25 “Super Season”
During last year’s title win, Salah’s individual numbers were staggering. He recorded 47 goal Involvements (29 goals, 18 assists) in the Premier League alone. This actually surpassed his iconic debut season in 2017/18 (42 G/A), showing that even at 33, he was evolving rather than declining.
6. 69.5 – Elite Efficiency
In his record-breaking 2017/18 debut season, Salah averaged a goal or assist every 69.5 minutes. To sustain that level of output over 36 games remains one of the greatest individual feats in the history of the English top flight.
7. No. 1 – The “Clean Sweep” Since 2017
Since the day he stepped onto the pitch in a Liverpool shirt, Salah has dominated the Premier League. From August 2017 to March 2026, he ranks Number 1 in the following categories:
- Most Goals (189)
- Most Assists (92)
- Most Shots on Target (480)
- Most Touches in the Opposition Box (2,717)
