Top scorer with 13 goals in 16 games (ratio 0.81), Liverpool’s Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is the most prolific African footballer in recent years in the Premier League. In 121 games played under the Reds’ tunic since the 2017-2018 season, the Pharaoh has managed to plant 86 goals and offered 31 assists.
The Ivorian legend, Didier Drogba, who has long marked the history of Chelsea, is the top African scorer of all time in the Premier League with 104 goals in 254 games.

He is now alone at the head of the best fireworks players of this championship, in front of the South Korean Son Heung-Min (Tottenham, 12 goals), the English Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton) and the Portuguese Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), with 11 goals each.
Incredible statistics
Arriving in Liverpool in 2017 from AS Roma, Mohamed Salah alias « Picasso » has become a real serial killer across the Channel. An infernal trigger that puts the various defenses in the Premier League to the torment. This season, the Egyptian star is in another dimension with impressive statistics.

According to the statistics of Opta Joe, the Pharaoh was decisive against Spurs on the last seven confrontations in the Premier League. He is directly involved in 6 goals; that is 5 goals and one assist in these seven games. Moreover, Tottenham is one of the favorite victims of Mohamed Salah in PL. Every time he meets Spurs, the Egyptian has always been up to the task.
