From his Premier League debut against Watford, to his 200th strike at Crystal Palace, and 198 goals in between including the UEFA Champions League final in Madrid, a hat-trick against Manchester United and Old Trafford and world-class strikes against Manchester City, Chelsea & more!
Ivorian Didier Drogba, one of the legends of African football, spoke about the new achievement achieved by Mohamed Salah by entering the list of the top 10 scorers in the history of the English Premier League.
Drogba, who shined in the ranks of Chelsea, was the most prominent African player to appear in the English Premier League, before Salah came to break many of his records.
Drogba re-published his own tweet from 2017 in which he predicted Salah’s history in the English Premier League.
The tweet was in December 2017 after Salah won the Best African Player award presented by the BBC, in which Drogba said: “You deserve it, brother. I am very proud of you, a legend in the making, the best is yet to come.”
Drogba commented on his old tweet, saying, “I tweeted that six years ago, and the rest is history, Salah.”
He added, "Congratulations, brother, on your new achievement of reaching 150 goals in the English Premier League. May you always be blessed."
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah scored a goal against Crystal Palace in the match between them on Saturday at Selhurst Park in round 16.
