The Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah has also created his place in one of the latest eras of football legends at Anfield.
The Egyptian international signed in 2017 from Serie A side Roma has indeed been a revelation, leading the Reds to every domestic title including the UEFA Champions League.
Even if Erling Haaland scored 30 goals in 2022/23 Pheonix and broke Salah's record for more goals in 38 38-game campaign, he still makes his name engraved in Liverpool record books. Reds fans would like that to continue for a while longer, thanks to continually growing links with the Saudi Pro League and his contract set to expire in 2025.
Liverpool's all-time leading scorers
Salah surpassed club icon Robbie Fowler in terms of goals for Liverpool and equal to another club’s icon, Steven Gerrard, by scoring against Brentford on May 6, 2023. Moreover, he set more individual records whereby he was the eighth Liverpool player to get a total of one hundred and above goals at Anfield, and the first to score for nine consistent home games.
Salah later on went ahead of Gerrard’s record and even reached 194 tally by scoring two goals against Everton on October 21st.
On December 9, Salah was capable of scoring the goal that made him the fifth Reds player to score 200 goals in all competitions ever since he joined the team.
The darling of the 2017/18 season is the only current player on Liverpool’s list because most of the hotshots on the list hung up their boots within the last two decades. Salah’s average goals per game (0.60) is high too, ranking itself just behind Gordon Hodgson in this count.

| 2. Roger Hunt | 285 | 492 | 0.58 | 1958-1969 |

For Liverpool, which player has scored the most number of goals?
The record holder of goals in the Liverpool team is Ian Rush, who scored 346 goals in the club during 1980-1996. At that time Rush joined Juventus from Liverpool for one season only, but he didn’t fit well in Juventine Soccer Club so he came back to Merseyside to continue his soccer game that is quite impressive in the Soccer Football of England.
Despite the fact that he wore no.7 shirt, Rush made a good strike-force combination with Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool. Erling Haaland has been the top scorer of the club in eight different seasons helping his team to win five league titles and two European cups.
Even if Mohamed Salah maintains such a scoring spree, it will take him quite a many games; 202 to be precise to match Rush at the top of this list.
How many goals have Mohamed Salah celebrated for Liverpool?
Mohamed Salah has more goals for Liverpool scoring goals in a total of 217 different competitions in 359 games. 47 goals and 83 chances created are the highest amount he had in any season and this was his first season at the club where he had the ammunition trio with Mane and Firmino. In that season, Liverpool got into the final stage of UEFA Champions League.
This has been the case since signing for the Reds where Salah has won all the top domestic silverware including the Premier League in 2019/2020 and the FA Cup and Carabao Cup double in late February 2022. He was also the driving force behind the 2019 Champions League win and another final earlier this year.
