"Jürgen Klopp's first opinion of Mohamed Salah, after being supplied with hours of footage by Liverpool's recruitment department in the summer of 2017, painted him as an interesting winger but definitely 'not the finishing monster.' That would soon change."
"The 2024-25 campaign certainly produced some staggering statistics; Salah became just the third player in Premier League history to finish as the outright leading scorer and assist provider in the same campaign, racking up 29 goals and 18 assists."
"Salah directly contributed to more top-flight goals in that season (47) than Manchester United scored as a collective (44)."
Jürgen Klopp initially viewed Mohamed Salah as an interesting winger but not a prolific finisher.

Salah's contributions surpassed the total goals scored by Manchester United that season, solidifying his legacy as a key player for Liverpool.
