Egyptian Mohamed Salah on cusp of Premier League goals record for Africa

On Saturday, Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah could become the top-scoring African in Premier League history.

One goal against Watford will be enough to equal the record, while two or more means the Egyptian will own it outright.

That record is currently held by Chelsea and Ivory Coast legend Didier Drogba, who accumulated 104 goals over two spells with the London club before his eventual departure, for a second time, in 2015.

Salah, who also has a previous affiliation with the European champions, has become one of the Premier League's most prolific forwards since joining Liverpool from Italians Roma in 2017.
