A recent statistic has cast a harsh light on Mohamed Salah’s toughest spell since joining Liverpool, highlighting how far the Egyptian star’s Premier League levels have dipped this season.
According to data from WhoScored, Salah has recorded the biggest drop in average rating of any player in the league who has played at least 10 matches. His score has fallen by 0.87 points, from 7.61 in 2024/25 to just 6.74 so far in the 2025/26 campaign.
This decline has gone hand in hand with an early setback in his Golden Boot battle, as Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has surged ahead in the scoring charts, threatening Salah’s hold on an award he won last season while leading Liverpool to the title.
In the league, Salah has 4 goals and 4 assists from 15 games, most of them as a starter, numbers that look modest by his historic standards. His uneven form has coincided with past speculation about his future, including a brief dispute with coach Arne Slot that was later smoothed over.
Salah’s contract runs until June 30, 2027, but these trends raise real questions about whether this is a temporary dip or the sign of deeper issues shaping his season.
