When Mohamed Salah arrived at Liverpool from AS Roma in the summer of 2017 for a fee of £36.5 million, few could have predicted the magnitude of the impact the Egyptian winger would have on one of England’s most storied clubs. Nine seasons later, as he prepares to depart Anfield at the end of the 2025/26 campaign, Salah leaves behind not only a cabinet full of medals but a dizzying array of individual records that have redefined greatness in the Premier League era. From his astonishing debut season to his final campaign, Salah consistently shattered long-standing milestones, and his name is now permanently etched into the history books of Liverpool Football Club.
In the English top flight, Salah’s goal-scoring exploits have placed him among the all-time greats. He is the highest-scoring African player in Premier League history with 191 goals, a tally that places him fourth overall behind only Alan Shearer, Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney. All 191 of those goals were scored while wearing a Liverpool shirt, making him the club’s all-time leading Premier League scorer. He surpassed Robbie Fowler’s long-standing record of 128 goals in unforgettable fashion, netting twice in a 7-0 demolition of Manchester United at Anfield in March 2023. He is one of only four Liverpool players to have scored 100 or more goals in the competition, joining Fowler, Steven Gerrard and Michael Owen. Beyond finding the net, Salah has been equally influential as a creator. He holds the record for the most Premier League assists for Liverpool with 93, moving ahead of Steven Gerrard’s 92 after setting up a goal for Curtis Jones against Brentford. He also became the most decisive player for a single club in Premier League history, directly contributing to 284 goals for Liverpool – a figure that overtook Wayne Rooney’s 276 for Manchester United. In the 2024/25 campaign, he registered a record-breaking 47 goal involvements, with 29 goals and 18 assists, surpassing the previous mark of 44 shared by Thierry Henry and Erling Haaland.
At Anfield, Salah was a nightmare for opposition defences. He holds the record for the most Premier League goals scored at the stadium with 107, and he also directly contributed to the most Premier League goal involvements at a single venue, with 152. He was the fastest player to 50 Premier League goals for Liverpool, reaching the milestone in just 65 matches, and the fastest to 100 top-flight goals in the club’s history, achieving the feat in 151 games. He also holds the record for the most Premier League games with both a goal and an assist, with 42 such matches, overtaking Wayne Rooney’s 36. On the European stage, Salah’s impact was equally profound. He is Liverpool’s record European goalscorer with 53 goals across all continental competitions, including 48 in the UEFA Champions League. That tally makes him the highest-scoring player for a single English club in the Champions League. He also became the first African footballer to score 50 Champions League goals, reaching the landmark during a 4-0 victory over Galatasaray on March 18, 2026. Salah holds the record for the fastest Champions League hat-trick, scoring three goals in just six minutes and 12 seconds against Rangers in October 2022. He also scored Liverpool’s fastest goal in European competition, netting after only 55 seconds against Midtjylland in 2020, and he is tied with Roberto Firmino for the joint-most Champions League goals in a single season with 11.
Across all competitions, Salah’s overall goal tally places him third on Liverpool’s all-time list of top scorers, with 255 goals in 435 appearances. Only the legendary Ian Rush with 346 goals and Roger Hunt with 285 have scored more for the club. He climbed the list at a remarkable pace, moving into outright third place after scoring two penalties against Southampton in March 2025. He is the highest goal-scoring non-British player in Liverpool’s history and the first player in the club’s history to score 20 or more goals in eight consecutive seasons. His 44 goals in his debut 2017/18 campaign remain the most by any Liverpool player in their first season with the club. Salah’s individual accolades are staggering. He won the Premier League Golden Boot four times, in the 2017/18, 2018/19, 2021/22 and 2024/25 seasons, tying him with Thierry Henry as the joint-most winner of the award. He is the first and only player to have won the Premier League’s Golden Boot, Golden Playmaker and Player of the Season awards, achieving that rare triple in the 2024/25 campaign. He also won the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award three times and the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award three times. He holds the record for the most Liverpool Player of the Season awards with five, tying with club legend Steven Gerrard. In terms of team honours, Salah won two Premier League titles, one UEFA Champions League, one FA Cup, two EFL Cups, the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup during his nine-year stay. Mohamed Salah’s departure marks the end of an era at Anfield, but his records ensure that his name will be spoken with reverence for generations to come.
