Salah bids to break Premier League records

Mohamed Salah continues to chase Premier League milestones, with fans and analysts closely watching as the Liverpool forward seeks to cement his legacy as one of the league’s all-time greats. Known for his consistency, pace, and clinical finishing, Salah is approaching or attempting to break several key records, including:

Most goals for a single club in the Premier League: Salah is narrowing in on record-holders like Wayne Rooney (Man United) and Sergio Agüero (Man City).

Most goals in a 38-game Premier League season: While he already set this record with 32 goals in 2017–18, he could be aiming to surpass or match his own benchmark.

Fastest to reach 150 or 200 Premier League goals: Depending on his current tally, Salah may be close to hitting these milestones faster than previous legends.

Most Premier League goals by an African player: Salah has already surpassed Didier Drogba, but he continues to extend his lead.

The “wait goes on” may refer to him being just short of one or more of these achievements as the season nears its end. Injuries, team rotation, or stiff competition can all play a role in delaying his ascent.
