Virals: Mohamed Salah becomes highest African EPL goalscorer

Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah has become the highest-scoring African in the history of the Premier League. 

The 29-year-old went clear of former Chelsea teammate Didier Drogba on Sunday with a sensational hat-trick against bitter rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford. 

This comes as a report from Football Insider claims that the Egyptian ‘wants’ a £500,000-a-week contract to stay at Liverpool beyond his current 2023 deal. 

Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp confirmed after the match that he ‘already knew’ the 71-cap star wants to spend the rest of his career at the club. 

Salah has netted a remarkable 105 league goals for Liverpool following two for Chelsea earlier on in his career.

Despite the continued speculation over a potential new contract at Anfield, Salah continues to flourish on the biggest stage of all. 

The numbers the £90million valued man continues to post are truly breathtaking and right now there is arguably nobody better in the world. 

Perhaps the most impressive part of this most recent record is the fact Salah has eclipsed Drogba in 87 fewer appearances.
