How long it would take Salah to beat Fowler and Rush’s Liverpool records

Mohamed Salah and Liverpool are a match made in heaven, and this season has seen him set the Premier League alight whilst breaking multiple records.

He has led Liverpool’s title challenge this campaign and helped them chase down Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City to within catching distance. Yet there is a long way to go to see if the job can be finished and whether Salah, Jurgen Klopp, and co can claim a second Premier League title in three years.

If they manage it, Salah will be one of the reasons why. He’s been consistently one of the best players in the world since he arrived at Liverpool and he has broken more personal records than most players can even dream of.

Yet such is his ability that more could be on the way. He is still just 29-years-old, and thanks to modern sports science extending the careers of players at the top, that means even the loftiest of records could be on his radar.

He could climb considerably further up the Liverpool all-time record goalscorers list, potentially taking over some of the all-time greats from Robbie Fowler to Steven Gerrard to even the leading all-time goalscorer Ian Rush.

So with that in mind, we’ve taken out our calculators, tried to remember what our teachers taught us, and crunched the numbers to bring you the facts on what it would take Salah to break a variety of records. Enjoy.

– The current Premier League goalscoring record is Alan Shearer’s 260. Salah currently sits way off that in 21st with 117. That means he would need to score 143 more goals. If he stayed at Liverpool and retired at 35, assuming the current season ended today he would need to score 28.6 goals a season for five seasons just to match it.

– Excluding 2021-22, he has a current average of 23.75 Premier
