Ranking third on the list for the fastest player to reach 150 goal contributions in the Premier League is Mohamed Salah. The fact that the Egyptian forward was a flop at Chelsea is really hard to digest. But thanks to that, Liverpool have got hold of one of the finest in the world.

Salah holds the crown for the most goals scored (32) in a single 38-game Premier League season. This was also achieved in his first season with the Reds (2017-18). His arrival has been influential for the Merseyside club as they won their first-ever Premier League title in the 2019-20 season. They had also won a Champions League success a year earlier.

In the ongoing season, he has already broken a few records and is en route to breaking more. He surpassed Didier Drogba's 104 goals to become the highest-scoring African in Premier League history after scoring three goals against Manchester United.

Salah leads both the goalscoring (14) and assists chart (9) with 23 goal involvements. His closest challenger in the Premier League is Watford's Emmanuel Dennis with 12 G/A.


#2 Thierry Henry - 163

The addition of Thierry Henry to the Arsenal side in 1999 added more spice to their perennial rivalry with Manchester United. He initially struggled to adjust to fast-paced Premier League life after leaving Juventus. However, he eventually finished as the Gunners' all-time top scorer with 228 goals.

The France and Arsenal legend has adequate records to his name. Despite being a striker, he holds the record for the most assists (20) in a single Premier League season. It was equalled by Kevin de Bruyne in the 2019-20 season.

Henry even scored 24 goals in that record-breaking 2002-03 season, making him the first player to score and assist 20+ goals in a season.

The only other person to achieve this feat was Lionel Messi in the 2019-20 season. Because of exquisite feats like these, Thierry Henry reached the 150 goal involvement milestone in just 163 appearances.


#1 Alan Shearer - 148

With 260 goals to his name, Alan Shearer is the all-time top scorer in the Premier League. Shearer played for Southampton before moving to Blackburn Rovers after the Premier League came into existence. That spell was followed by Newcastle United where he hung his boots after 10 years.

One of the best strikers in the league, Shearer was named the inaugural Premier League player of the decade (1992-2002). His incredible run during the four year stay at Blackburn was what boosted his achievements. He is also the only player in the competition's history to score 30+ goals in three consecutive seasons.

Shearer had scored and assisted 137 goals in just 138 appearances with the Rovers. He needed only 10 more matches at his new club, Newcastle United, to claim the record as the fastest player to reach 150 goal contributions. By the time he retired, he had also become his boyhood club's all-time top scorer.
