Mohamed Salah's red-hot form for Liverpool could see him break Jamie Vardy's record for goals in consecutive Premier League games, according to Alan Shearer.
The Reds attacker, whose future at Anfield remains the subject of intense speculation, has been in sensational form this term with 13 goals in 14 top-flight games.
With Arne Slot's men seven points clear at the summit of nearest rivals Cheslea and Arsenal, it is clear that the Egypt international's form has been critical to their joy.
Now Shearer, the competition's all-time top scorer with 260 goals, believes the forward could break Leicester veteran Vardy's record of scoring in 11 straight matches.
"As a player, when on a run like Salah is, you feel pretty unstoppable," he told Betfair. "I've been in that position myself and you just can’t wait for the next game to come along.
"You don’t go out there hoping you’re going to score, you go out knowing that you’re going to score. Standing in that tunnel when you’re in red hot form, it’s a great feeling.
"It wouldn’t surprise me to see him breaking Jamie Vardy’s Premier League record, especially with the form that he’s in, the player he is and the chances that Liverpool create.
"They’re now coming to a point in the season over Christmas and New Year where there are so many games. Can he break the record? I wouldn’t put it past him, he’s that good."
Vardy achieved the feat during Leicester's remarkable run to the Premier League title during the 2015-16 season, making them just one of seven teams to win the title.
Salah was instrumental in Liverpool's only success too, during the 2019-20 campaign, and if truly set to leave Merseyside, would surely love to sign off with another success.
