In total, Salah and Mane combined for 22 goal contributions in the Premier League.

10. Alan Shearer and Nolberto Solano

7. Freddie Ljungberg and Thierry Henry

The Frenchman and the Swedish international enjoyed an eight-year spell at Arsenal and together, the pair combined for 24 goals in total as Henry transitioned into a traditional number 9 from the wing.

He features much higher up on this list with another forward partner at the Gunners.

6. Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino

The legendary modern Liverpool front three that won the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League also included Firmino.

While he was more of a provider, he had a knack of scoring goals that were assisted by Salah. Together, the duo combined for 25 goals.

5. Darren Anderton and Teddy Sheringham

These two are the first of two Tottenham duos on this list.

Anderton had injury problems, but that never stopped him from forming an interesting partnership in north London with former United man - Sheringham - and the two had an impressive 27 goal combinations.

3. Robert Pires and Thierry Henry

Henry makes a second appearance on the list thanks to his formidable partnership with fellow Frenchman, Robert Pires.

At Arsenal, the two players who were part of the 2003 Invincibles squad and combined for 29 goals before Pires moved to Villarreal in 2006.

3. David Silva and Sergio Aguero

In his successful Manchester City stint, Aguero will largely have Silva to thank as the Spaniard always had a habit of providing him with crucial passes that begged to be converted to goals.

'Kun' also had his moments and this duo also combined for 29 goals.

1. Heung Min Son and Harry Kane

Interestingly, the number one spot belongs to two players who have combined a devastating number of times without winning any silverware as at June 2023.

England's Kane and South Korea's Heung Min Son have 47 goal combinations among themselves, making them the most lethal partnership in Premier League history.

What’s interesting is the fact that the two are likely to increase this tally, if the Three Lions captain somehow manages to stay at Tottenham for the upcoming season.

Mount among United priciest signings

Sports Brief also reported on the most expensive signings in Manchester United history, with new star, Mason Mount, joining the top 10.

The England international swapped Chelsea for the Red Devils this summer in a deal believed to be worth an eyewatering £60 million.

Despite the huge transfer fee paid by Man United to acquire Mount, the midfielder is still not among the top five most expensive stars.
