Mo Salah continues to prove why he might be the best Reds attacker the Premier League has ever witnessed, despite concerns this season may be the Egyptian’s last at Anfield

For someone who was tipped to be a one-season wonder, Mohamed Salah is making a decent career for himself to say the very least.

But pretty much every week - whilst proving exactly why he is deserving of a new deal - Salah is also providing that much-needed distraction from any such fears.

For the 2024/25 campaign, he already has nine goals in 16 appearances - seven of those in the Premier League plus one each in the Champions League and Carabao Cup.

Even when he is not scoring, his creative efforts have flourished over the years to the point where he now has as many assists as he does goals this term, having added another couple in Tuesday's 4-0 rout of Bayer Leverkusen.

The tribalistic nature of football will probably prevent Salah from ever being crowned as the best attacker of the Premier League era amongst all supporters, even though statistics would prove those same people wrong.

He now sits eighth in the all-time top scorers list - the only active English top-flight player in the top 10 with 164 goals in total.

At his current pace, a spot within that top 10 is also well within the realms of possibility.

Combining the two into total goal contributions in the Premier League era, his total stands at 238 - which is enough for eighth in this ranking too.

The Reds have had a number of goalscoring greats throughout those last 32 years of the Premier League era, but is Salah now truly the greatest of them?

It started out with the heir to Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler.

Fowler will now have to settle for second.

The conveyor belt of talent then produced Michael Owen.

The footballing world will now remember him more for his time in Spain as a serial La Liga winner, a Champions League winner and as one of the famous Lionel Messi, Suarez and Neymar - MSN - trio.

Eventually, Liverpool would respond with their own three attackers, one of which was Salah.
