With each day that passes, and each comparison that is made, Mo Salah continues to outshine nearly all of them. Most notably, the number of former footballing legends whose records he has already surpassed.
In counting every official match of the season, the Egyptian has a tally of 40 goals. Salah's total is greater than Premier League stars, including Rooney, Aguero, Shearer, Fowler, Van Persie and Drogba.
However, the list does not just end there, he has also overtaken Samuel Eto'o, Del Piero, Muller, Hernan Crespo, Totti, Batisuta, Trezeguet, Schevchenko, Inzaghi and Van Basten to name but a few.
Salah could also continue to improve his record given that he has four games remaining in the Premier League to increase his total. Not to mention, two guaranteed further Champions League matches and a potential spot in the final.
