There are great individual seasons, and then there’s what Mohamed Salah is doing in 2024/25. The Egyptian King has always been a force of nature in the Premier League, but this campaign? This might just be his magnum opus. With 25 goals and 16 assists in the league already, Salah has reached a level of dominance that is almost unheard of.
Time and time again, Salah has proven himself as one of the Premier League’s greatest ever players, but this season feels different. It’s not just about the sheer number of goals he’s scoring; it’s the complete package. His creativity has reached new heights, his consistency is unmatched, and his ability to decide games in crucial moments makes him the most unstoppable player in the league right now. The question isn’t just whether this is his best-ever season—it’s whether anyone has ever had a better individual campaign in Premier League history.
Salah’s brilliance this season goes beyond goals. His 25 goals in the Premier League have already put him head and shoulders above everyone else in the race for the Golden Boot, but it’s his playmaking that has taken his game to a whole new level. With 16 assists so far, he has set a new record for the most assists by a Liverpool player in a single Premier League campaign. No one in the league has created more goals than him this season. He’s no longer just a goal machine – he’s a complete attacking force.
What’s even more astonishing is his ability to deliver in the biggest moments. He has now scored and assisted in 11 different Premier League matches this season, something only Lionel Messi has done in Europe’s top five leagues in the past decade. He also became the first player in Premier League history to score and assist in both games against the reigning champions in a single season, proving once again that he thrives on the biggest stage.
Salah is also the first player in Premier League history to record 40+ goal involvements in two different seasons. That level of sustained brilliance is rare. To put it into perspective, even Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Luis Suárez never hit that mark twice in their Premier League careers. This is a player who is not only breaking records – he’s redefining what an elite attacker looks like.
When discussing the greatest individual seasons in Premier League history, a few names always come up. Thierry Henry’s 2002/03 campaign saw him score 24 goals and register 20 assists, setting a record at the time for most assists in a single season. Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2007/08 season, in which he scored 31 goals in 34 games, won him the Ballon d’Or. Luis Suárez’s 2013/14 campaign, where he notched 31 goals and 12 assists despite missing the first five games, was breathtaking. And of course, Salah’s own 2017/18 season, where he shattered the single-season goal record with 32 goals, remains legendary.
But here’s why Salah’s 2024/25 season might be the best of them all. No player has ever combined goal-scoring and playmaking at this level. Henry was a brilliant creator, but he didn’t match Salah’s goal tally. Ronaldo was a devastating scorer, but he wasn’t as much of a provider. Suárez was electric, but even he didn’t reach Salah’s current level of all-around dominance. Salah’s 25 goals and 16 assists mean he’s influencing games in a way we’ve never seen before in the Premier League era.
Beyond his numbers, the sheer volume of records Salah has shattered this season is staggering. He has become the first player in Europe’s top five leagues to reach 50 goal involvements across all competitions this season, proving he’s not just dominating in England but across the entire continent. His ability to consistently score and assist in the same game has set a new benchmark for attacking players.
Perhaps the most telling statistic of all is that Salah is the first player ever to record 25+ goals and 15+ assists in a single Premier League season. That level of balance between goal-scoring and creativity is simply unheard of. He isn’t just excelling in one department – he is dominating in every possible attacking metric.
With performances like these, there’s no doubt that Salah is now the clear frontrunner for the 2025 Ballon d’Or. He has been the best player in the Premier League by a considerable margin, and his influence on Liverpool’s title charge has been undeniable. If Liverpool go on to win the league and make a deep run in the Champions League, it will be almost impossible to deny him football’s most prestigious individual award.
At 32, Salah is proving that he is still at the peak of his powers. We may never see a player dominate the Premier League in quite this way again. And if he continues this form until the end of the season, we might just have to declare this the greatest individual Premier League season of all time.
