Mohamed Salah is poised to elevate Liverpool's attack even further in the coming years, thanks to his dynamic playstyle that continues to evolve, claims football pundit Jamie Carragher.
After securing a lucrative two-year contract worth £380,000 per week, Salah isn’t showing any signs of slowing down at 32 years old. He has already shattered the Premier League record for most goals and assists in a single 38-match season, racking up an astonishing 45 contributions with six games still to go.
With 18 assists this season alone, Salah has broken Liverpool's record for assists in a Premier League campaign, showcasing a side of his game that's developed significantly.
Carragher, speaking on Monday Night Football, shared his thoughts on Salah's transformation from pure goalscorer to a clever playmaker. He noted that while Salah might not be sprinting into spaces as much as he ages, he’s become exceptional at feeding teammates, making crucial passes instead.
"It'll be fascinating to see if these impressive numbers continue over the next two years,” Carragher remarked. "He’s always been a goal-scorer, but his vision and creativity have really stood out this season. Instead of just crossing, he’s been making pinpoint passes into dangerous areas.”
Fellow football legend Thierry Henry praised Salah's adaptability, emphasizing how rare it is for top players to evolve while still at their peak. "When you can score and assist with such finesse, it's extraordinary," Henry stated.
Salah has now outperformed previous legends like Henry, who had 44 goal involvements during a single season, and Manchester City's Erling Haaland, who equaled that tally two decades later. With 27 goals and 18 assists this season, Salah is on track to aim for yet another record, striving to surpass Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole's 47 goal involvements in longer seasons.
Despite rumors linking him to a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia, Salah is enthusiastic about his future with Liverpool. He expressed his happiness in staying, stating, "I signed because I believe we can win big trophies together. I've enjoyed the best years of my career here, and I hope to enjoy many more.”
In a shocking summer development, Al-Ittihad had a staggering £150 million bid for Salah turned down, reinforcing his commitment to the Reds as he aims to build on his legacy.
