Speaking to Off The Ball, Robbie Fowler has backed Liverpool star Mohamed Salah to break his record as the Reds’ top scorer in Premier League history.
The Anfield outfit have had some wonderful strikers over the years, the likes of Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres and Michael Owen have all represented the club in the Premier League, but Fowler remains the club’s top scorer in this competition.
However, despite having 128 league goals for the Reds to his name, Fowler believes that it won’t be long until Salah breaks his record.
What’s been said?
Fowler was speaking about his Premier League legacy and he backed Salah to break his record.
“I would back myself against anyone. At times maybe I don’t get the recognition I warrant. I’m in the top 10 of the premier League goalscorers, I’m Liverpool’s top scorer, I mean, Salah is going to beat that the way he’s going this season, but I’m still Liverpool’s top scorer in the Premier League era, and maybe I don’t get the plaudits I should be getting,” Fowler said.
A matter of time
You have to think that it’s just a matter of time before Salah breaks this record.
Salah is 23 goals behind Fowler, and while it’s a tough ask, he could even break that record this season.
Admittedly, the more likely scenario is that he overtakes Fowler towards the beginning of next season, but, of course, that could change if Salah’s contract situation isn’t sorted and he leaves Merseyside in the summer.
However, if all goes to plan. Salah should break Fowler’s record in the next 12 months.
