Egyptian soccer superstar Mo Salah continues his quest for greatness in the English Premier League, where he is chasing glory on multiple fronts in 2019.

Salah's Liverpool are currently leading the way at the top of the Premier League table, and the Egyptian hitman is having another stellar season in the Reds' forward line.

As of January 12, 2019, Salah had hit an incredible 48 goals from 56 league appearances for Liverpool, and has 16 league goals this season up to and including January 19, with the mobile striker proving a threat from all areas of the pitch.

His goalscoring exploits in a red shirt have put him right up at the sharp end in the Premier League top goalscorer markets with football betting companies around the world. Salah is currently 4/6 with Redbet to claim the top goalscorer slot, ahead of Aubameyang (3/1) and City's Aguero, at 7/1,

At the time of writing, Salah is listed as the odds-on favourite to claim the Premier League Golden Boot and, if he can carry his incredible strike rate throughout the EPL season, he might just be celebrating more than just an individual honour by the end of the campaign.

That's because Liverpool are looking as strong as we've ever seen them in the Premier League era.

Jurgen Klopp appears to have found the right blend at both ends of the pitch, having recruited well in defence to back up his livewire forward line.

Liverpool's secret sauce is the fact that it isn't all about Salah's goals. While the Egyptian star is having a banner year for the Reds, his goals are supported by additional strikes from his two strike partners. Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have dovetailed beautifully with Salah to create the Premier League's most dynamic and dangerous forward line - and it shows.

Klopp's side are doing the business on all fronts, and look good both in domestic competition and in Europe, where they have progressed to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, where they are set to face familiar opposition for Klopp in the form of Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

Liverpool look stronger at the back, more balanced in midfield and more dangerous up front. But despite the wholesale improvements all over the pitch this season, Salah continues to stand out.

His ability to finish from all angles while also creating opportunities for others has been remarkable this season.

As well as his 16 goals to date, he is also right up towards the top of the Premier League's assist table, with seven.

That ability to not only score, but create, has helped his strike partners Firmino and Salah bag nine goals each so far this season, and if the striking trio at Anfield can stay fit for the rest of the season, it's hard to imagine too many sides outscoring the Reds as the look to complete their quest for their first ever Premier League title.
