7 insane records that Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is on course to smash in 2024-25
Mohamed Salah has enjoyed a tremendous campaign during 2024-25 so far and we’ve gathered seven insane records that he’s on course to smash this season.
Following Liverpool’s emphatic 6-3 triumph over Tottenham, Arne Slot’s side will be top of the Premier League tree on Christmas Day.
The Reds have accumulated an impressive 39 points in their opening 16 matches and that’s largely thanks to the prolific form of Salah.
As of writing, the Egyptian forward has been directly involved in 70% of the league goals they have scored up until this point.
The 32-year-old was in fine form over the weekend as he was involved in four of the six goals that they scored against Spurs, scoring twice and assisting a couple of goals too.
“Apart from him being a good footballer, he is very likeable as a person,” Slot told reporters when discussing Salah.
“He is always there to help his teammates, always down to earth. He understands what it takes to be at this level every three days.
“That’s what impresses me; that as a top player, he understands how hard he has to work for the quality he shows.”
While there’s been plenty of speculation surrounding Salah and his long-term future of late, the 32-year-old hasn’t been distracted by any of the external noise.
“You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this,” Salah said earlier this month when discussing his future.
“But in the end it is not in my hands. As I said before, it is December and I haven’t received anything yet about my future.
“I’m not going to retire soon so I’m just playing, focusing on the season and I’m trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well.”
