Mo Salah’s Record-Breaking Liverpool Legacy in Numbers

Mohamed Salah, arguably Egypt’s greatest footballing export, announced on Tuesday that he will leave Liverpool at the end of this Premier League season. In a heartfelt video posted to his Instagram, Salah bid an emotional farewell to the club and the fans, saying that the team and the city left a massive impact on his life.

"Leaving is never easy, you gave me the best time of my life, I will always be one of you," Salah said. "This club will always be my home, to me and my family... because of all of you, I will never walk alone."

Lovingly nicknamed “The Egyptian King” by fans at Anfield, Salah broke numerous records while wearing Liverpool’s colours. He became the fastest player to score 50 goals for the club, holds the record for most Premier League goals in a 38-game season and is the top-scoring African player in league history, having scored over 250 goals for Liverpool.

Off the pitch, Salah became a global icon and a widely-recognised philanthropist. He was named to Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in 2019 and has donated extensively to health-related causes around the world. According to a Stanford study, his presence at Liverpool contributed to a positive image of Muslims in the UK.
