Salah's record

On the evening of April 13th, Mohamed Salah made history with the most goal-related contributions in a single season as Liverpool beat West Ham 2-1 in the 32nd round of the Premier League.

Salah has the most goals and assists in a single Premier League season.

At Anfield, the Egyptian striker didn't score but provided an assist for Luis Diaz to open the scoring in the 18th minute. Salah has been involved in 45 Premier League goals this season, surpassing the previous record held by Thierry Henry (2002/03) and Erling Haaland (2022/23), both of whom were involved in 44 goals.

Salah currently has 27 goals and 18 assists, and is close to breaking the all-time record for the most appearances in a single season in England's top league. The previous record was held by Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole with 47 appearances, but that was in a season of 42 matches.

This is a strong response to the doubts surrounding Salah's future earlier in the season, when he hinted at a possible departure and nearly moved to Al Ittihad. The Saudi Arabian club had offered £150 million in the summer of 2023, but Liverpool rejected the offer.

"The King of Egypt" receives a salary of £400,000 per week, a significant increase from his previous £350,000 per week. Salah enjoys a record-breaking salary in Liverpool's history and is on par with Kevin De Bruyne at Man City. Currently, Erling Haaland is the highest-paid player in the league, earning £500,000 per week from Man City.

Speaking after extending his contract with the "Reds" for another two years, Salah shared his feelings: "I've had the best years of my career here. Now I want to continue enjoying football and winning more titles with the team. I'm staying because I believe Liverpool have a lot of great things ahead of them."

Liverpool also benefited greatly from Salah's decision, as they entered the crucial final stages of the Premier League title race and were vying for more trophies. Their 2-1 victory against West Ham put "The Kop" almost certainly in their grasp of the championship. After 32 matches, Liverpool are 13 points ahead of Arsenal with only six rounds remaining in the season.
