Mohamed Salah eyes Steven Gerrard assist record before Liverpool farewell

As his storied spell on Merseyside draws to a close, Mohamed Salah has one more milestone within reach before bidding farewell to Liverpool FC, with the Egyptian forward poised to eclipse Steven Gerrard in the club’s Premier League assist rankings.

Salah, who will officially leave the club at the end of June, has already cemented his place among Liverpool’s all-time greats following nine glittering years at Anfield.

His remarkable contribution has delivered major honours, including the UEFA Champions League and two league titles, while redefining attacking excellence with his consistency and output.

Now 33, Salah sits third on Liverpool’s all-time scoring chart, trailing only Roger Hunt and Ian Rush, having already surpassed iconic names such as Gerrard, Robbie Fowler and Kenny Dalglish.

However, it is his creative influence that could yet see him rewrite another chapter in the club’s record books.

Currently level with Gerrard on 92 Premier League assists, Salah has two remaining fixtures to claim the outright record. His immediate opportunity comes in Friday night’s trip to Aston Villa, where he returns to contention after missing Liverpool’s last two matches due to a thigh injury.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed Salah’s availability, though the forward is expected to start from the bench at Villa Park. A more prominent role is anticipated in the season’s final game at home, where Liverpool supporters are preparing an emotional send-off.

With 379 goal involvements in 440 appearances, Salah’s departure signals the end of an era, leaving a significant void ahead of what promises to be a defining transfer window for the club.

Yet before that transition begins, the Egyptian still has the chance to etch his name above Gerrard once more, this time as Liverpool’s leading Premier League creator.
