Mohamed Salah set a new Premier League benchmark when he reached 152 goal contributions at a single stadium during Liverpool’s 4–1 thumping of Newcastle United on Saturday. That total places him ahead of the previous record of 151, which was held jointly by Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney at Highbury and Old Trafford respectively.

Salah’s tally at that ground is compiled from 107 goals and 45 assists, producing the 152 figure that now stands alone at the top. Thierry Henry’s total there was 114 goals and 37 assists for 151, while Wayne Rooney recorded 101 goals and 50 assists for the same combined total.

Beyond the stadium-specific milestone, Salah remains on course for other career landmarks in the Premier League. He is fourth on the all-time scoring list with 190, 18 behind Wayne Rooney’s 208 and behind Alan Shearer and Harry Kane. Whether he can move up into third depends on form and remaining fixtures: Liverpool have 14 Premier League games left and Salah has scored four goals in 16 outings this season.

The past 18 months have been full of broken records for Salah and have strengthened his standing in Premier League history. The clock is ticking for Salah and it is not yet clear how long he has left to rack up the numbers. His current contract says 18 months but his tense relationship with manager Arne Slot may suggest otherwise.

Mohamed Salah became the first player to register 152 goal contributions at a single Premier League stadium during Liverpool’s 4–1 thumping of Newcastle United on Saturday. That total moves him past the previous high of 151, a mark held jointly by Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney at Highbury and Old Trafford respectively.

Salah’s landmark is the product of sustained output for Liverpool over several seasons. The numbers at that ground break down as 107 goals and 45 assists, producing a combined total of 152. By comparison, Thierry Henry recorded 114 goals and 37 assists for 151, while Wayne Rooney had 101 goals and 50 assists, also 151.

Beyond this stadium-specific record, Salah is also tracking career scoring milestones in the league. He sits fourth on the all-time Premier League scorers list on 190, 18 behind Wayne Rooney’s 208 return and behind Alan Shearer and Harry Kane. Whether he can climb into third remains an open question given Liverpool have 14 Premier League matches left and Salah has scored four goals in 16 appearances this season.

Chelsea will recall centre back Mamadou Sarr from his loan at Strasbourg, with the club preparing to send Aarón Anselmino to the French side on a six-month loan as part of the arrangement. Sarr is expected in London on Monday to finalise his return to Stamford Bridge.

Sarr joined Chelsea from Strasbourg in the summer in a deal worth £12 million and travelled with the Blues to the Club World Cup before returning to Strasbourg on a season-long loan to continue his development under Liam Rosenior. This season he has been used across Strasbourg’s defence, including in the central centre back role where Chelsea have struggled since Levi Colwill’s injury.

Enzo Maresca wanted a new signing to replace the injured academy graduate, but club officials initially sought to protect clear pathways for both Sarr and Anselmino. A U-turn earlier this month saw Chelsea acknowledge the need for a new central defender, though talks over Jacquet have proven complicated. Instead, the club looked internally for a solution.

Anselmino was recalled from Borussia Dortmund earlier this month in what was understood to be a move designed as a catalyst for Sarr’s eventual return. Sarr, 20, offers a lower-risk option for Chelsea; Rosenior has managed him for 44 matches over 18 months and is confident his skillset will translate to the Premier League.

BlueCo have attempted to ease tensions with Strasbourg by sending Anselmino, also 20, to France as the exchange. The Argentine began the season with the stronger reputation of the two players, but Sarr’s performances under Rosenior have raised his value.

While Sarr’s return represents a clear boost for Chelsea’s defensive options, it is unlikely to improve relations between Strasbourg supporters and BlueCo. Fans have protested at what they see as feeder club treatment, a stance compounded by the midseason loss of Rosenior. Losing the club captain, a player who fit Strasbourg well, is expected to be unpopular among a fanbase that already feels isolated and disregarded, though the move was described in the report as somewhat inevitable.
