Whoscored reveals how Mohamed Salah is showcasing his strongest season yet for Liverpool, proving his status as a generational talent. Liverpool are thriving under his leadership, sitting at the top of the Premier League table despite an intense fixture schedule.
The Reds have won 15 out of 17 matches across all competitions, nine out of 11 in the Premier League. The 32-year-old’s consistent contributions have driven this remarkable form, cementing his importance to the team under head coach Arne Slot.
The Egypt captain faced a rare dip in form late last season combined with a more surprising long injury lay-off. The situation prompted concern from the fanbase with many doubting his longevity, pointing at his age as the source.
Despite a slight regression in Salah’s agility which allowed him to beat the defenders one-on-one, his other game only improved. The 32-year-old proved his naysayers wrong this season, taking the example from captain Virgil van Dijk, showing peak fitness level.
According to Whoscored, Salah leads the Premier League in combined goals and assists with 14 for Liverpool, two more than any rival. The Egyptian legend has made 17 appearances in all competitions so far, scoring 10 goals and providing 10 assists.
Salah’s numbers continue to eclipse players considered among the world’s elite and receive more applause from the media. While Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior finished second in the Ballon d’Or, the 32-year-old’s statistics and on-field presence surpass his.
Salah’s performances, season after season, have redefined expectations for a forward nearing his thirties. The Egyptian is earning £350,000 gross per week at Liverpool as he plays in the last season of his current contract.

While Liverpool have a strict policy stopping them from giving lucrative contracts to ageing players, Salah remains an anomaly. The club must recognize the 32-year-old’s unique value, a player whose consistency outshines concerns about age. Few players in modern football offer a blend of reliability, fitness, and technical brilliance while his relationship with the fans is another crucial factor.
