Mohamed Salah has been at the heart of Liverpool’s phenomenal 2024/25 Premier League campaign, consistently delivering match-winning performances. With Liverpool leading the title race and Salah hitting top form, the Egyptian superstar is on track to shatter multiple Premier League records.
In Liverpool’s recent 2-0 victory over Manchester City, Salah scored his 25th league goal of the season and assisted Dominik Szoboszlai, bringing his assist tally to 16. With 11 matches remaining, Salah has the opportunity to break long-standing records in goals, assists, and overall goal contributions. Let’s take a look at which records he can set this season and how close he is to rewriting history.
Premier League Records Salah Can Break
1. Most Goals in a Single Premier League Season
Salah’s goal against City marked his sixth consecutive league match finding the net. His 25-goal tally is already one of the highest in Liverpool’s recent history, and with 11 matches left, he is in a prime position to challenge the all-time record for most goals in a Premier League season.
Current Record Holders:
- Erling Haaland (2022/23) – 36 goals
- Alan Shearer (1994/95) – 34 goals
- Andrew Cole (1993/94) – 34 goals
- Mohamed Salah (2017/18) – 32 goals
- Luis Suarez (2013/14) – 31 goals
If Salah maintains his current goal-per-minute ratio (one every 96 minutes) and plays every remaining game, he is projected to finish with 35 goals—just one shy of Haaland’s record.
2. Most Assists in a Premier League Season
While Salah is best known for his goal-scoring ability, he has also been Liverpool’s creative engine this season. With 16 assists, he is just four away from equaling the record and could well surpass it before the campaign ends.
Current Record Holders:
- Thierry Henry (2002/03) – 20 assists
- Kevin De Bruyne (2019/20) – 20 assists
- Mesut Özil (2015/16) – 19 assists
- Frank Lampard (2004/05) – 18 assists
- Kevin De Bruyne (2016/17) – 18 assists
Salah is averaging an assist every 150 minutes, which puts him on pace to register six more by season’s end, potentially setting a new record at 22 assists.
3. Most Goal Contributions in a Single Season
Combining both goals and assists, Salah’s total stands at 41, making him the seventh-highest contributor in a single Premier League season. If he maintains his form, he could surpass legends such as Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry.
Current Record Holders:
- Alan Shearer (1994/95) – 47 (34 goals + 13 assists)
- Andrew Cole (1993/94) – 47 (34 goals + 13 assists)
- Thierry Henry (2002/03) – 44 (24 goals + 20 assists)
- Erling Haaland (2022/23) – 44 (36 goals + 8 assists)
- Luis Suarez (2013/14) – 43 (31 goals + 12 assists)
- Mohamed Salah (2017/18) – 42 (32 goals + 10 assists)
- Mohamed Salah (2024/25) – 41 (25 goals + 16 assists)*
With 11 matches left and Salah averaging a goal involvement every 58 minutes, he could easily surpass 50 goal contributions, a record-breaking feat.
How Close is Salah to Breaking All-Time Premier League Records?
While Salah is focused on the immediate season, he is also climbing the all-time Premier League charts in goals and assists.
- Premier League All-Time Goal Record: Salah currently sits at 182 league goals, still some way off Alan Shearer’s record of 260 goals.
- Premier League All-Time Assists Record: Salah has 85 assists, far from Ryan Giggs’ record of 162 assists, but within striking distance of the top five assist-makers in history.
Will Salah Win the PFA Player of the Year Award?
With Liverpool leading the title race and Salah playing a starring role, he is a prime candidate for the PFA Player of the Year award. Should he claim the honor, he would become the first player in history to win it three times, having previously won in 2017/18 and 2021/22.
What About the Ballon d’Or?
Remarkably, Salah has never placed in the top three of the Ballon d’Or rankings. However, former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger has tipped him for success this year. If Liverpool win the Premier League and Salah breaks records along the way, he could finally earn the recognition he deserves on the world stage.
