Mohamed Salah has enjoyed one of the all time great individual seasons to help deliver Liverpool the Premier League title.
The 32-year-old has scored 28 goals and provided 18 assists so far as Liverpool equalled Manchester United’s record of 20 English top-flight titles on Sunday.
A third player of the year award from both his fellow players and football writers appears a formality, with Salah now firmly in the debate over who is the greatest player of the Premier League era.
His combined total of 46 goals and assists is a new Premier League record for a 38-game season and the all-time mark of 47 looks likely to fall before the season is out.
Top non-England scorer
Salah’s tally of 185 goals in the English top flight is the fifth highest in Premier League history and he is in the top 10 for assists.
His goal against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday moved him ahead of Argentina’s Sergio Aguero.
Salah is now the outright leading non-England goal scorer of all time.
Ahead of Salah in the standings is Andy Cole – by just two goals.
Don’t bet against Salah overtaking Cole before the 2024/25 season is over.
Here’s a look at the updated Top 10 all-time Premier League goal scorers chart:
| RANK | PLAYER | COUNTRY | GOALS |
| 1 | Alan Shearer | England | 260 |
| 2 | Harry Kane | England | 213 |
| 3 | Wayne Rooney | England | 208 |
