Mohamed Salah celebrates Liverpool’s third goal against Leeds United
Former Dutch national team player Jacques Swart and a personal friend of Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman said the latter intends to include Liverpool star Mohamed Salah in the Blaugrana ranks.
Salah started the English Premier League season with a hat-trick that led his team to a 4-3 win over Leeds United in the first round.
Swart told the Dutch website Voitbull Zone: “I know that Koeman wants to include Salah in Barcelona, and I realize that the player wants to take this step.”
The record holder who appeared in the Ajax jersey refused to reveal the source of his information, saying: “I cannot reveal the source of the information.”
He added, “I’m not going to tell any other details, but trust me … this is what I know.”
And Mohamed Salah became the first player in Liverpool history to score at least one goal in the opening game for four consecutive seasons.
Salah Adel on that Teddy Sherringam number from 1992/1993 to 1995/1996 and they are the only ones to have achieved it in the history of the Premier League.
The Egypt star’s hat-trick is his third in Liverpool’s jersey since his arrival in 2017.
He previously scored against Watford and Bournemouth in the Premier League as well.
The hat-trick is Salah’s fifth overall. He scored a hat-trick with Roma against Bologna and another with Egypt against Zimbabwe in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
And because the hat-trick came in the first round, it must be remembered that the former Basel player became the ninth player in history to score a hat-trick in the first round of the Premier League.
Salah’s hat-trick finally made him break the fifty-goal barrier for Liverpool at Anfield. He is now the fourth player in the former club’s history to reach this number, after Robbie Fowler (85 goals), Stephen Gerrard (69 goals) and Michael Owen (63 goals).
And since it is Mohamed Salah’s third hat-trick in the English Premier League, the 28-year-old has become the second longest-running African player to score a Premier League hat-trick.
Only Nigerian forward Yakubo and Everton, Portsmouth, Middlesbrough and the former Blackburn player who scored a hat-trick four times in the Premier League are African players.
And finally. The former Arab Contractors player took another big step into the Hundred Club with Liverpool.
Salah reached goal 97 in the Liverpool jersey, and is just three goals away from entering the 100 club with his goals in various tournaments.
