Mohamed Salah’s Premier League goal-scoring legacy: Where will he rank?
Mohamed Salah’s place among the Premier League’s greatest goal scorers continues to generate debate, following his latest achievement of reaching 162 goals, tying him with former Tottenham forward Jermain Defoe for 10th place in the all-time rankings.
The Egyptian forward, who scored in Liverpool’s recent match against Chelsea, is now being recognized not only for his prolific goal-scoring but also for his significant contributions to the club.
Salah has become the sixth player to have the highest goal involvement in Premier League history, cementing his status as one of the competition’s most influential figures.
Sky Sports recently shared a list of the top 10 Premier League goal scorers on its social media platform X (formerly Twitter), sparking widespread fan discussion about where Salah might finish in the rankings by the time he hangs up his boots.
One fan, posting under the name “Chuks,” speculated, “Maybe second… because Haaland will be first.”
Another fan, using the pseudonym “Pure Football,” suggested, “Between Henry and Aguero,” while a third, “Pavlo Escobar,” confidently predicted, “I think he will finish fourth, what a player!”
At 32 years old, Salah remains a key figure for Liverpool, and his consistency in front of goal shows no sign of slowing down.
However, the uncertainty surrounding his future at the club adds another layer of intrigue to the debate.
Salah’s contract with Liverpool expires in June 2025, and while renewal talks have yet to materialize, the Egyptian has attracted interest from several clubs, including those in the Saudi Pro League.
Paris Saint-Germain’s head coach, Luis Enrique, is also reportedly keen to bring Salah to France.
The coming seasons will determine just how far Salah can climb the Premier League goal-scoring ladder.
His current position in 10th place leaves him within striking distance of other legends like Thierry Henry and Sergio Aguero, but much will depend on whether he remains in the Premier League or pursues new challenges elsewhere.
With his unparalleled record at Liverpool and his ability to rise to big occasions, Salah’s journey toward becoming one of the top scorers in Premier League history is far from over.
Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see just how high the “Pharaoh” can soar.
