Salah Equals Cristiano Ronaldo & Van Persie's Premier League Goal Record
LONDON (Dispatches) - Mohamed Salah has equaled a record held by Robin van Persie and Cristiano Ronaldo after scoring the winner in Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
The Liverpool attacker has now scored in 21 games of the Premier League season, and is only the third person since 1992 to do so.
Ronaldo managed the feat in 2007-08, as Manchester United romped to the Premier League title. The Portugal international scored a total of 31 times, with Sir Alex Ferguson's men beating Chelsea to the league trophy.
Van Persie also achieved the feat whilst at United, netting 26 times as United again won the title, in Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season, with a gap of 11 points to nearest rivals Manchester City.
Salah will surely end the season without a Premier League winners' medal around his neck, with Pep Guardiola's City just two games away from being crowned champions.
Barcelona are plotting a swap deal involving Ousmane Dembele that they hope will convince Mohamed Salah to swap Anfield for Camp Nou, according to Diario Gol.
The report suggests that such a proposal pleases Lionel Messi, who would prefer not to see Antoine Griezmann join the Catalan side as he feels they would overlap too often on the pitch.
The acquisition of Salah would mean Barcelona have a player at the peak of his powers rather than having to wait for Dembele to fully develop, and also means Coutinho could concentrate more on replacing Andres Iniesta in midfield rather than operate on the flank.
