Mohamed Salah has the most goals and assists in the Premier League, he makes 276 goal contributions in the league during this period. His closest challenger is Son Heung-min with 173.
When people talk about great Premier League attackers, the same names always come up, Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney, Sergio Agüero. But in the last eight years, one man has carried the league on his shoulders more than anyone else.
Mohamed Salah has produced the most goals and assists combined in the Premier League since 2017, and the gap between him and everyone else is not even close.
From the moment he returned to England in 2017, Salah has been on a level of his own. His numbers have stayed high through different managers, new teammates, injuries around him, and changes in Liverpool’s squad.
Recent data shows that Salah has 276 goal contributions in the league during this period. His closest challenger is Son Heung-min with 173.
That 100+ gap tells a big story. It shows this is not a short run of good form, this is long-term consistency from a winger who has played at elite level every single season.
It also shows how important he has been to Liverpool through their title-winning years and rebuild phases.
Even now, at a time when Liverpool are trying new attacking shapes and mixing old and new players, Salah is still the one carrying the numbers.
Mohamed Salah total G+A since 2017: 276
Second place: Son Heung-min – 173
2024/25 season: 29 goals + 18 assists = 47 G+A
He equaled the PL record for most involvements in a 38-game season
Position: Right winger
Club: Liverpool
Role: Main finisher and creator
These numbers already explain the main story, but to understand why Salah is so far ahead, we need to break down his influence, season form, playing style, and how Liverpool’s system has helped him shine even without a traditional striker.
1. Mohamed Salah – 276
2. Son Heung-min – 173
3. Harry Kane – 160+ during his PL years before joining Bayern
4. Kevin De Bruyne – above 140+
5. Raheem Sterling – above 130+
The large gap between Salah and the rest shows something important: even when Liverpool had seasons where they dropped form, Salah did not stop producing.
Son is the closest, but even he is more than 100 contributions behind. De Bruyne is one of the best creators in the world, but injuries have limited his total.
Sterling had strong spells at Manchester City, but his numbers fell later on.
Salah, on the other hand, stayed steady year after year.
Salah and Son are two of the most dangerous wide forwards the league has seen. They play in similar roles, but their styles are not the same.
1. Consistency
Salah has hit 20+ league goals in multiple seasons.
Son has also had big seasons, but not at the same level every year. Salah rarely drops below double digits for both goals and assists combined.
2. Influence on the team
At Liverpool, Salah is the main finisher and the main creator. He carries a heavy load in attack. Son at Tottenham shares the load more, especially when Harry Kane was still at the club.
3. Playing style
Salah depends on sharp movements, smart runs, and a strong left foot that defenders struggle to read.
Son is two-footed and deadly in transitions, but not as involved in the full attacking build-up.
4. Goal creation
Salah creates chances more often. Son is efficient, but Salah does more overall work.
One question people ask is: “How is a right winger leading the league in goal contributions?”
Here’s why:
1. His movement
Salah starts wide but always drifts into dangerous spaces. He knows when to cut inside and when to stay wide to stretch the defense. Few attackers time their runs better.
2. His finishing
He takes shots early, especially on his left foot. Goalkeepers barely have time to set themselves.
3. His link-up play
key passes
progressive runs
chances created
shot-creating actions
4. His durability
Salah rarely misses games. Liverpool rely on him almost every week, and he delivers.
This is an important angle because it explains even more about Salah’s numbers.
Liverpool have gone long periods without a classic number 9. The likes of:
…often play as false 9s, linking midfield and attack rather than acting as pure finishers.
Because of that setup:
Salah becomes the main scorer
Salah becomes one of the main creators
Liverpool’s system naturally pushes the attack through him
Even this season, he is still their top scorer despite not playing as a striker. Liverpool always angle their attack to the right because they know Salah can either finish the move or set someone else up.

When you look at all-time Premier League greats, a few things stand out.
1. Thierry Henry
Henry is considered one of the greatest. Salah’s impact on the league is now close to his. Henry had multiple 30+ G+A seasons, and Salah has matched that too.
2. Alan Shearer
Shearer is the all-time top scorer, but he was a pure striker. Salah is doing winger and striker work at the same time.
3. Sergio Agüero
Agüero was deadly in the box, but he did not match Salah’s assist numbers or the way Salah creates from wide.
4. Wayne Rooney
Rooney had amazing all-around play. Salah’s scoring levels are higher, while his creation levels are close.
Salah has been the most productive attacker in England for eight years.
He has outperformed every striker, winger, and playmaker in the league.
His consistency puts him in the Premier League history books.
Even now, when people say he’s getting older or Liverpool are changing their squad, Salah still leads them in goals and remains their most important forward.
Since 2017, no Premier League player has matched Mohamed Salah’s output. His 276 goals and assists show long-term consistency, elite finishing, strong creativity, and incredible fitness.
He has stayed at the top in seasons when Liverpool were champions, and even in years when the team struggled.
Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, Kevin De Bruyne, and other top attackers have all had great spells, but none have kept Salah’s level for this long. His numbers are proof of his impact, and his recent form shows he is not slowing down.
