Typically, at 32 years of age, players tend to see a decline in their performances as they begin to wind down their careers. However, Mohamed Salah is re-writing the script. During Liverpool's 5-0 win against West Ham, the Egyptian picked up a goal and two assists to take his Premier League goal contribution tally up to 30 before January.

It's a simply staggering achievement for the Reds winger, who is linked with a potential move away in the summer amid an ongoing contract dispute with the club. However, now, it seems ludicrous that Liverpool would let Salah walk away for free, given how impressive his 2024-25 campaign has been to date.

In fact, the Egyptian has been so good that he's broken the record for the best minute-to-goal-contribution ratio of any Premier League player in history. With 17 goals and 13 assists from 18 matches - 1,586 minutes - Salah boasts a staggering record of one contribution every 53 minutes this season.

Mohamed Salah has reached 30 Premier League goal contributions before the new year. The Egyptian scored his 17th goal of the campaign during a 5-0 win over West Ham on Sunday. In terms of the current season, Salah stands alone at the top of the leaderboard for goal contributions - with Chelsea's Cole Palmer sitting second with 18.

In a look to the all-time records, Salah's impressive return is the best ever for players who have played more than 1000 minutes in a league season. According to The Athletic, after Salah is Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus who, during his time at Man City, impressively contributed to a goal every 59 minutes in 2016-17.
