Mohamed Salah closing in on Lionel Messi: Another century takes Liverpool superstar into elite group alongside Barcelona legend & Man City talisman Kevin De Bruyne

The Egyptian star achieved yet another milestone as he completed a century of assists for the Reds against Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday. Since his debut at Anfield in 2017, only three players - Kevin De Bruyne, Thomas Muller and Lionel Messi - in Europe's top five leagues have contributed with more assists than Salah.

Earlier this month, Salah achieved a unique Premier League feat after scoring and providing an assist in his 37th league game, thereby breaking the previous record set by Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney. Amazingly, with 278 Premier League appearances, Salah has played 213 fewer games than the ex-Manchester United and Everton striker, who played 491 top-flight matches.

The 32-year-old winger has displayed exceptional form in the 2024/25 campaign. He has scored 16 goals across all competitions and contributed with 13 assists and is also the joint top goalscorer (13) in the Premier League along with Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland.

Salah will be back in action in midweek as Arne Slot's side take on Southampton in a Carabao Cup quarter-final clash at St Mary's Stadium.
