Mo Salah: PFA award winner in numbers

39million – Liverpool agreed a fee, including add-ons, in the region of 39million euros to sign Salah from Roma last year. The exchange rate at the time meant that cost the Reds £34.3million – a bargain given his performances since.

13 – The 25-year-old was not a complete stranger to the Premier League when he arrived at Liverpool this summer. However, during his previous stint at Chelsea, he made just 13 Premier League appearances, seven of which were off the bench, and scored only twice.



57 – It was in the 57th minute of his Liverpool bow when Salah opened his account for Liverpool in the 3-3 draw with Watford back in August. The Egyptian prodded the ball over the line from close range after latching onto Roberto Firmino’s attempted lob.

7 – Salah’s best scoring streak of the season occurred between an FA Cup tie against West Brom on January 27 and a Premier League win over Newcastle on March 3. He scored for seven games running in all competitions and struck twice against Tottenham.

3 – This season Salah became the first player in Premier League history to win the player of the month award three times during a term. He was voted as the division’s best player in November, February and March.

40 – Salah joined Roger Hunt and Ian Rush as the only players in Liverpool’s history to have scored 40 times in a single season when he headed home against Bournemouth at Anfield earlier this month.

30 – The goal against Bournemouth ensured the Egyptian achieved another milestone in becoming the first African player to score 30 times across one Premier League campaign.

8 – As well as his fine form in England, Salah has also scored eight times in the tournament phase of this season’s Champions League. Only Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, with 15 to his credit, has found the net more often in the group stages and knockout rounds of Europe’s premier club competition.
