The amazing career of Salah inspiring a new generation - and he's not done yet

The Egyptian has scored 140 goals in 216 appearances for Liverpool since joining from Roma in 2017 for around £37million.

He became one of Jurgen Klopp's missing jigsaws in the Liverpool frontline as part of his rebuilding process to bring back domestic and European success.

Salah's move has paid dividends and demonstrated his brilliance, with many iconic moments taking the Kop's breath away.

He has been such a revelation on Merseyside that his life has been added to the national curriculum in his home country.

It is hoped his life can inspire the next generation of children in Egypt. In primary school, the texts focus on his playing career, while at secondary school his charitable donations and questions such as what it means to be a successful hero are among the topics.

Here, talkSPORT looks at the 29-year-old's best moments during his five and a half seasons at the club, which the youngest kids in Egypt will learn about.

The Egyptian King arrives: 2017/18

Salah had a sensational start to life at Anfield, scoring 23 goals in the first half of the season.

Nobody would forget his first goal in the Merseyside derby, with a sublime curling effort in front of the jubilant Reds' supporters.

It became apparent that Salah loved to dribble the ball and squeeze past defenders in tight positions, most notably against Bournemouth, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Watford.

And, the clipping efforts against Manchester City in the league and Europe. He ended his debut season with an astonishing 44 goals in all competitions to secure another fourth place finish though the club lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

The strike rate meant he was the club's second-highest goalscorer in a single season and the best record since the inception of the Premier League for Liverpool.

The Champions League triumph: 2018/19

Although he didn't break the 40-goal barrier this time, he still finished with 27 in all competitions scored some important ones during the 18/19 campaign.

Salah's effort against Napoli in the final group game was pivotal to secure their place in the Champions League knockout stages and he took the goal superbly past former Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina.

In the last 16 second-leg tie against Bayern Munich, he recorded a memorable assist for Mane's second goal on an unforgettable European night.

There were some brilliant individual goals from the Egyptian, including a hat-trick against Bournemouth.

He ended the season with a penalty in the Champions League final win over Tottenham.

The Premier League: 2019/20

Following their European success, more silverware was added in the trophy cabinet - the Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

Klopp's side set their sights on ending their wait for a league title with fans waiting for 30 years and the team responded in emphatic fashion.

Salah kept his cool with some headed goals against Manchester City and Brighton respectively.

Salah was more of a team player as he registered 10 league assists and more European goals - including a goal from an insanely tight angle against Austrian outfit Salzburg.

His third season saw him net 23 times in all competitions, 19 of those goals came in the league.

Shining light: 2020/21

It was one of Liverpool's worst seasons and they couldn't hold their title defence.

Salah, though, bagged a sensational hat-trick in a 4-3 win over newly-promoted Leeds United on the opening day.

During the injury and COVID-19 hit campaign, he was the shining light for the Reds' in all competitions and endured some of their worst runs - losing five home league games in a row between January and early March.

However, highlights for the star man in a trophyless campaign included wonderful goals in a 7-0 thrashing over Crystal Palace and a brace against West Ham at London Stadium.

Records continue to fall: 2021/22

This season saw Salah rekindle his best form and made history by scoring in five consecutive opening day fixtures for the Reds.

More records were set to be broken - his opener against Leeds United was his 100th Premier League goal. It was followed by another goal in the 3-3 draw against Brentford which saw him notch a century of league goals for the Reds.

Salah's magic touch and a moment of brilliance saw fans witness goals of the contenders when he executed superb goals against Manchester City and Watford.

Klopp appeared to galvanise Liverpool back to their best since their title winning campaign two seasons ago, and were on the front foot in the Champions League again. Salah was in the spotlight again with a brace when they faced Atletico Madrid.

He finally set another Premier League record of becoming the first player to score a hat-trick against Old Trafford in their 5-0 thumping over the Red Devils.

He has 15 goals already this season and at this rate, he has the capabilities to emulate his goalscoring from his first season at the club.

Considering he wants to stay at Liverpool forever, you wouldn't bet against it.
