Mohamed Salah has grown to be one of the best-ever players in the Premier League.

Salah made history during the 2017/2018 season when he became the first player to win three Player of the Month awards in a single season.

4. All-time record for the most number of goals scored in a Premier League season

Salah took his goalscoring prowess to new heights in the Premier League season of 2017/2018 by scoring 32 goals.

This beat the previous record of Luis Suarez and Cristiano Ronaldo, scoring 31 goals a piece.

5. Fewest games to reach 100 goal contributions mark by a non-European player

The former AS Roma man grabbed 100 goal involvements in 116 appearances. This made him break Sergio Aguero's record of 118 appearances.

Jurgen Klopp signs an autograph on the leg of a Liverpool fan

Sports Brief had earlier reported that a Liverpool fan was given a moment to savour for the rest of his life when he received an autograph on his leg by German tactician Jurgen Klopp.

The Liverpool faithful who appears to be a staunch admirer of Klopp had a tattoo of the German on his leg and had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fraternize with the Reds boss.

In a photo posted on Twitter, sighted by Sports Brief, the fan strategically placed his leg on the advertising board and attracted Jurgen Klopp, who did him the honours by signing his autograph on the leg of the fan.
