Premier League all-time assist leaders: Mohamed Salah passes Thierry Henry, eyes David Beckham

Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah is throwing big names underfoot with his continued rise up the Premier League’s all-time assists list.

Salah registered his 75th Premier League assist on Saturday when he was fouled on a breakaway and saw his final touch buried in the Aston Villa goal by Darwin Nunez.

It wasn’t his most sensational helper, but it sent the Egyptian past longtime Arsenal hero Thierry Henry and current Everton winger Ashley Young and into 13th place all-time.

Christian Eriksen is next for Salah, who is five assists off the all-time top 10.

How many Premier League assists does Mohamed Salah have?

Liverpool’s Egyptian King continues to rise up the Premier League lists for all-time goals and assists.

He assisted Diogo Jota in Week 1 of the 2024-25 Premier League season to reach the 70-assist mark in the Premier League, and now has 75 after Week 11.

That’s five away from the 10th-place total accumulated by David Beckham.

Between Mo and Becks? Teddy Sheringham and Eriksen.

Kevin De Bruyne’s history chase: Only Giggs above

‘KDB’ has now chased down Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, and Cesc Fabregas to trail only one player, Ryan Giggs, on the Premier League’s all-time assists list.

Sadly for KDB, that’s a bridge too far unless the Belgian stays a bit longer than expected in the PL; Giggs’ 162 Premier League assists are nearly 50 more than De Bruyne.

Also chasing legends are Andy Robertson, Raheem Sterling, Heung-min Son, and Mohamed Salah.

De Bruyne now has 113 Premier League assists, and 100 PL assists is a feat that can be claimed by only four other players and has never been done faster than De Bruyne’s achieved it.

De Bruyne may not stay at City or in the Premier League long enough to track down Giggs, but this has been a special run regardless.

There are several other active Premier League players in and around the top 25 for all-time assists, while James Ward-Prowse (45) could reach the 50-assist mark this season.
