The 2025-26 English Premier League season has reached match-day nine, with several shocks across the standings.
Defending champions Liverpool have suffered four consecutive defeats, while Bournemouth and Sunderland are surprise inclusions in the top four.
Throughout the league’s history, certain players have consistently inspired their clubs to success with remarkable performances. Among them is Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, who is now edging closer to Wayne Rooney’s record for the most goal contributions for a single club in Premier League history.Â

How many goal contributions does Salah need to equal Rooney’s tally and which other legendary player completes the top five list?
In this article, SportPremi lists the top five players with the most goal contributions for a single club in EPL history;
5. Thierry Henry (Arsenal, 248 goal involvements):
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry ranks fifth on this list with 248 goal involvements for the Gunners. The iconic figure scored a club-record 175 goals and provided 73 assists in the EPL.
The Frenchman’s most productive season was in 2002-03, when he made 44 goal contributions as Arsenal finished behind Manchester United in the standings.
Henry also remains the only footballer in EPL history to reach 20 goals and 20 assists in a single season.
4. Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur, 262 goal involvements):
England captain Harry Kane contributed to 262 goals – 213 goals and 49 assists during his time at Tottenham Hotspur.
The 32-year-old is also second on the all-time goalscoring charts in the league history and departed Spurs as a legend, leaving as the club’s record goalscorer.
Kane has previously hinted at rejoining Spurs and could have a chance of moving up the standings if the move comes through.
3. Ryan Giggs (Manchester United, 271 goal involvements):
Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs ranks third on this list with 271 goal involvements in his 22-year career in the EPL.
The former Wales forward netted 106 goals and provided the most assists in the history of the league with 162.
Giggs also has the most league titles by a player, winning the EPL 13 times in a hugely successful spell under the great Sir Alex Ferguson.
2. Mohamed Salah (275 goal involvements):
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has firmly established himself as arguably the greatest African player to ever feature in the Premier League, after enjoying a remarkable career with the Reds.
Following an underwhelming first spell at Chelsea, the Egyptian captain made return to the English top-flight and has never looked back.
With his goal on Saturday against Brentford, the 33-year-old moved to 275 goal involvements in the league for Liverpool, just one behind Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney.
Salah could smash yet another record in his next outing by adding one more milestone to his ever-growing list of Premier League achievements.
1. Wayne Rooney (276 goal involvements):
Manchester United great Wayne Rooney currently ranks first on this list but Mohamed Salah is poised to overtake him in the coming weeks.
The former England forward scored 183 times and provided 83 assists in a hugely successful spell for the Red Devils in the English Premier League.
