Few could have imagined the impact Mohamed Salah would have at Liverpool Football Club when he arrived at Anfield on June 22, 2017.
A brief stay at Chelsea provided previous experience in English football, but there were lots of ‘can he do it?’ questions hanging in the air.
After six and a half years, the Egyptian King has made a Merseyside crown his own.
Salah has been a force of nature for the Reds, earning seven major honors and countless individual accolades.
Silverware
The idea is to add to that medal tally in 2024, when Jurgen Klopp’s team will be back in trophy-winning form.
The Reds will always be considered favorites in every competition in which they compete, with star-studded ranks allowing significant silverware to fall within grasp on a yearly basis.
Liverpool remain in contention on multiple fronts this season – both at home and abroad – and the odds on them adding more entries to a well-stocked cabinet at Anfield will continue to shorten for those looking for betting sign-up offers from a wide range of markets spanning everything from the Premier League to the FA Cup via the Europa League and the Africa Cup of Nations.
Salah continues to demonstrate that he can be the man to provide inspiration as Klopp’s side looks to make apologies for an empty-handed campaign in 2022-23.
The African superstar has made a habit of rewriting the record books, having passed the 200-goal milestone as a Liverpool player in December 2023.
Only four men have ever scored more goals for the Reds, with a modern-day talismanic presence taking their position among the immortals.
But where does Salah fit into this sparkling list?
When asked that question, former Reds player Luis Garcia responded, “It’s very difficult, but Salah has to be in, let’s say, the top ten.” In fact, if you take all of his goal-scoring figures and what he has won, he is in the top five.”
The Spaniard claims he would have to “choose between Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard” to be at the top of the leaderboard, but Salah is closing in fast.
Legend
Iconic personalities from years gone by have achieved too much for Salah to ever reach the No.1 slot, with concerns continuing to be asked of how long he will be remaining around in England, but cracking the top five would be some achievement.
Having arrived as something of an unknown quantity, the Egypt international will walk away – whenever that day comes – as a bona fide legend. He has exceeded expectations in the most breathtaking of fashions and etched his place into the history books.
Salah will be remembered as an all-time great in Premier League circles, so spectacular has his effect been, and will also head out to graze amid Liverpool’s historic collection of GOATs once the famous Anfield soil has been blessed for a last time.
