Salah is eyeing becoming the best Premier League’s top scorer in history and surpassing former Manchester United and current Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, Newcastle’s former legend Alan Shearer and former Liverpool’s Luis Suarez, record of 31 goals.


“I’m very proud to see myself fighting to break the [goal-scoring] record for the Premier League. I’m thinking about each game. That’s my target, I want to score, I want to help the team to win again,” Salah said.


“It’s still five games to go, there’s a big chance, let’s see.” Salah added.
