Mohamed Salah Shatters Premier League History, Leaving Arsenal and Man Utd Icons in His Wake
Mohamed Salah established a new benchmark for most goal involvements at a single Premier League venue during Liverpool's commanding 4–1 victory over Newcastle United on Saturday.
When he delivered the pass to Florian Wirtz that led to Liverpool's third strike, Salah notched his 45th Premier League assist at Anfield, which combined with his tally of 107 goals, brings his total goal involvements at the Reds' iconic stadium to 152.
Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney previously shared the record, each having accumulated 151 goal involvements at Arsenal's former Highbury ground and at Old Trafford, respectively.

Wayne Rooney | 101 | 50 | 151 |
The upcoming significant target for Salah will be his attempt to surpass Rooney as the league's third-highest goalscorer. Presently ranked fourth with 190 goals, he trails the Manchester United icon's mark of 208 by 18 strikes.
Is it feasible for him to achieve that figure this season? In previous campaigns, it might have seemed achievable, but Liverpool only has 14 Premier League matches left and Salah hasn't displayed the scoring consistency required for such remarkable numbers. He has managed just four goals across 16 appearances this term.

Time is running short for Salah and uncertainty remains about how much longer he has to accumulate these statistics. His existing deal runs for 18 months, though his strained relationship with manager Arne Slot might indicate otherwise.
December's harsh criticism of both Slot and the club following a period of being dropped from the starting eleven sparked rumors that Salah might have departed Liverpool during the January transfer window. Relations have since been mended and Salah will complete the current season, but his presence for 2026–27 remains uncertain.
Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly eager to conclude Salah's Anfield chapter prematurely, while Major League Soccer opportunities will certainly emerge. In the end, the duration of Salah's remaining time at Liverpool rests entirely with the player himself.
