"Mohamed Salah has etched his name alongside another Liverpool legend, equalling Steven Gerrard's record for the most assists in Premier League history for the Reds. The Egyptian King provided his 92nd assist in the competition on Wednesday night, whipping in a brilliant corner that was powered home by captain Virgil van Dijk to secure a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light."
"Despite the on-pitch history making, Salah's long-term future at Anfield remains the subject of intense speculation. The winger has been heavily linked with a summer move to Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ittihad. Recent reports suggest that the Saudi club has already initiated preliminary talks with Salah's agent, Ramy Abbas, to explore a potential blockbuster transfer. Following a fallout with Slot in December, where Salah expressed frustration over being scapegoated, the Egyptian King is said to be more open to a move than in previous years."
Mohamed Salah supplied his 92nd Premier League assist with a corner finished by Virgil van Dijk, giving Liverpool a 1-0 win over Sunderland in the 61st minute. The assist moves Salah level with Steven Gerrard's long-standing Reds record. Salah, 33, has spent nine years at the club and has broken numerous club records during that time. Manager Arne Slot praised Salah and predicted Salah will likely surpass Gerrard's tally. Salah's long-term future at Anfield is uncertain amid strong links to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad and reported preliminary talks between the Saudi club and his agent Ramy Abbas. A December fallout with Slot reportedly increased Salah's openness to a move.
