Salah won the Golden Boot in three seasons out of five he spent in the English Premier League with Liverpool, who joined in 2017 from Roma.
Salah won the award in the 2017-2018 season by scoring 32 goals, and in the 2018-2019 season by scoring 22 goals, and this season as well (23 goals).
And the “Squaka” network, which specializes in football statistics, claims that French football legend Thierry Henry is the only player to win the Golden Boot in the English Premier League more than Salah.

Henry set the record for top goalcorer in the English Premier League, winning the award 4 times while playing for the Arsenal club between 1999 and 2007.
Salah will be able to break Henry’s record,
If he stays at Liverpool next season, he will once again be the top scorer in the English Premier League.
Salah’s contract with Liverpool will expire in the summer of 2023, and the two sides have negotiated an extension of the player’s contract for several months, without reaching an agreement so far.
But the Egyptian star confirmed this week that he will remain at Liverpool next season, regardless of his contractual status with Liverpool.
It should be noted that Salah is preparing with Liverpool to play an important game tonight, Saturday, against Real Madrid in the Champions League finals.
