Salah's Liverpool contract saga overshadows historic season

Mohamed Salah is on the verge of rewriting the record books, but with potentially fewer than 10 games remaining in his Liverpool career, the achievements within the 32-year-old's grasp are being obscured by the ongoing saga of his Anfield contract.

One more goal will move the Egypt international ahead of former Manchester City forward Sergio Agüero as the highest-scoring non-English player in Premier League history -- the duo are tied on 184 goals -- and Salah could claim the record as early as Wednesday in the Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield.
