Mohamed Salah has made no secret about wanting to break every Liverpool record possible, but his ambitions have seen him repeatedly ask the club’s top goalscorer why he “scored so many goals!”
Salah has scored 186 goals in 305 appearances for the club, positioning him joint-fifth in the club’s all-time goalscoring charts, four positions and 160 goals short of Ian Rush.
The former No. 9 set a record that will, surely, never be surpassed, having notched 346 goals across his 660 appearances – a career of longevity and lethal strikes.
“I’m just motivated to keep breaking records, keep scoring goals and winning games,” Salah said back in May, but the title as Liverpool’s top goalscorer will likely elude him – but that will not stop him trying.
No. 11 has rightly brought up the fact of Rush scoring so many goals in their various interactions over the years and you can imagine the Egyptian’s wry smile as he does so.
“I speak a lot to Mo Salah, Mo keeps saying why did you score so many goals!” Rush told Bangladeshi outlet Prothom Alo.
