Salah is now only 12 goals away from the ninth-highest goalscorer, Jermaine Defoe, and 13 goals away from fellow Liverpool great Robbie Fowler.
Alan Shearer, on 260 goals, still tops the list of Premier League goalscorers and will be confident of retaining his place at the zenith of the list after Harry Kane, who has scored 213 times in the Premier League, left England for German giants Bayern Munich.
All the other players on the top 10 Premier League goalscorers’ list apart from Kane and Salah, including Wayne Rooney, who is third, Andy Cole, Sergio Aguero, and Frank Lampard, who are fourth to sixth, as well as Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who is seventh.
