But Salah is more than just a goalscorer.<\/p>\n
He is well clear in assists too with 16 – six more than anyone else in the Premier League and five more than Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, who is next across Europe’s big five leagues.<\/p>\n
Salah has 11 games to break the single-season Premier League assists record of 20 shared by Henry in 2002-03 and Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne in 2019-20.<\/p>\n
When you combine goals with assists, Salah has 41 goal contributions. The Premier League record is 47 – shared by Blackburn’s Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole at Newcastle, although they did that in 42-match campaigns.<\/p>\n
In a 38-game season, the best is 44 by Haaland two years ago (36 goals, eight assists) and Henry in 2002-03 (24 goals, 20 assists).<\/p>\n
Since 2006-07 only four players in England, Spain, Italy, Germany or France have reached 50 goal contributions in a single season: Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo (three), Barcelona’s Luis Suarez (one) and Paris St-Germain’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic (one).<\/p>\n
Messi’s best league total came in an incredible 2011-12 season with 66 goal contributions (50 goals and 16 assists).<\/p>\n
Salah has scored and assisted a goal in 49 league matches in his career in Europe’s big five leagues.<\/p>\n
Since Opta has recorded data (from 2006-07), only Messi (102) and Ronaldo (65) have scored and assisted more often.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
