Since joining Liverpool from AS Roma, Egyptian international Mohamed Salah has scored a number of goals each season. His assists have also improved in recent years and he has been in particularly good form this season.
He will turn 33 in June this year and is nearing the end of his career, but he trains hard and continues to show his age defying performances.
He has overtaken former Arsenal midfielder Thierry Henry as the all-time Premier League goalscorer and is now within striking distance of former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard.
Egyptian King continues to score goals every year, but says it is never easy to achieve it, and says he is proud of the numbers he has achieved so far.
“That is something incredible, something I am very proud of. I worked very hard for that.”
“And being also a winger and scoring goals that make a difference in the game is quite hard and people will maybe appreciate it more when they see that in the future.”
“It’s quite hard and tricky because sometimes when you do things every day and every year, people just think that it’s not hard.”
“It’s not easy at all because it’s very tricky to find a winger to score like 20 or 30 goals, for eight years in a row. But again, something I’m proud of,”

Few players in the world are as good as this. Liverpool are also looking hard for a successor, but it is a difficult task to find someone with the potential to become such a player.
So how many more goals and assists will the veteran winger, who has made his mark not only at Anfield but in the world of football, be able to add to his own tally in the future…?
