Although the English league has seen some exceptional scorers grace its pitches, Salah’s record marks a milestone in terms of goals when talking about strikers from a single club. Barely Four players have surpassed the 150-goal mark in a single shirt since the Football League First Division was renamed the Premier League in the 1992 season. .

Thierry Henry, the historic French footballer who led Arsenal to glory, ranks fourth among the competition’s top scorers. His 174 goals in eight years established him as the striker of the era. and they place him as one of the biggest idols to come through the North London team.
