Mo Salah has once again claimed the Premier League title, but knowing his elite mindset, that alone won’t satisfy him this season.
The Egyptian superstar consistently sets the bar incredibly high, and he’ll have his eyes set on breaking more records in both goals and assists.
Leading the league in both categories, Salah is just three goal involvements away from surpassing the joint record of 47—held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole—for most goal contributions in a single Premier League season.
What makes his feat even more remarkable is that the current record was achieved in a 42-game season, while Salah has played only 34 matches out of a possible 38.
Despite his personal brilliance, the former Roma forward is quick to credit his teammates for his success—though this dynamic could shift.
Arne Slot revealed on Friday that he plans to rotate the squad in the final four games of the season, ahead of the upcoming clash with Chelsea.
This is encouraging news for players like Harvey Elliott, who has been the subject of speculation about his future, but it might not sit well with Salah, who’s chasing history.
Salah is determined to keep pushing for records this season.
While it’s unlikely that Salah will be rested, he’d probably prefer to continue playing alongside top teammates like Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo rather than risk a drop in quality.
This title-winning squad is full of talent, and depth is crucial in winning a league, but the limited rotation throughout the season suggests the coach may not view all players as equally dependable.
Hopefully, Salah can still hit his personal milestones, and the incoming players make the most of their chances to prove they belong in the starting lineup next season.
