In round 28, Liverpool defeated West Ham 4-1. In the 4 goals that The Kop scored against the opponent, as usual, Salah left his mark.
Thus, after 28 rounds, the 25-year-old striker has scored 23 goals for Liverpool, along with 8 assists (0.8 goals/match). It can be affirmed that Salah is the most successful player for The Kop this season.
The former AS Roma striker is currently ranked 6th in the list of best strikers in the Premier League in his first season. The leader of this list is Andy Cole - former Newcastle United striker. In the 1993-94 season, Cole scored 34 goals for the "Northeast Magpies".
The Premier League has 10 more rounds for Liverpool. With his current scoring rate, Salah could end the season with 31 goals, thereby setting a record for the most goalscoring rookie for The Kop in his first season in charge.
Saying Salah is an absolute bargain for Liverpool is not a bad deal. Because the 36.9 million USD that Liverpool spent to buy him from AS Roma is a small amount of money in the current price storm. We can take M.U's Romelu Lukaku for example to compare. The Belgian striker came to Old Trafford for 97 million USD but has only scored 13 goals after 27 rounds.
Not only scoring, Salah's role in controlling the playing style of Liverpool's attack is also clearly demonstrated. Along with Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, Liverpool are possessing a terrible attacking trio. On the right wing, Salah is both a scary explosive and a "prey" for Firmino and Mane to enter the waist.
The current 3rd place in the Premier League rankings is considered a success for Liverpool in the context of Man City and M.U using money to compete for forces.
In the Champions League arena, the 5-0 victory over Porto away from home is a great support for Klopp's team to continue thinking about the next goals in the arena where they won the title in 2005.
