Salah, Messi, Ronaldo: The players with most league goal contributions since 17/18

Mohamed Salah will be a Liverpool player for the foreseeable future.

On Friday afternoon, the Reds officially announced that the team’s talisman had signed a new three-year deal worth around £400,000-a-week.

Liverpool fans are understandably ecstatic over the news, as for quite some time, it looked as if Salah would follow Sadio Mane out the exit door.

Contract negotiations between player and club were at a standstill for months, but the latter finally decided to meet the demands of the former.

Salah is now the highest-paid footballer in Liverpool’s history and if any player in the current squad is worthy of that title, it’s the Egyptian King.

Since joining the Reds from AS Roma in the summer of 2017, Salah has been among the best footballers on the planet.

Despite playing as a winger for the most part, the former Chelsea man has won three Premier League Golden Boots.

In terms of goals and assists combined in Europe’s top five leagues, only two players possess a higher total than Salah from the start of the 2017/18 campaign to the present day.
