Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has become the first player in Europe's top five leagues to surpass 50 direct goal involvements this season.

The Egyptian wants and deserves the sport's biggest individual accolade but he will not get it by moving to Saudi Arabia

According to BBC Sport's X account, Salah has now assisted or scored in 11 Premier League games, tying Lionel Messi for the most such matches in a season in one of Europe's big five leagues. Messi reached the mark when he played for Barcelona during the 2014-15 season.

Liverpool fans will never forget Jurgen Klopp’s efforts at the club, though it’s likely many of the players may have felt his departure would have had a greater impact on the team.
