English Premier League: Top 10 all-time goal scorers
Mohamed Salah has enjoyed one of the all time great individual seasons to help deliver Liverpool the Premier League title.
The 32-year-old has scored 28 goals and provided 18 assists so far as Liverpool equalled Manchester United's record of 20 English top-flight titles on Sunday.
A third player of the year award from both his fellow players and football writers appears a formality, with Salah now firmly in the debate over who is the greatest player of the Premier League era.
His combined total of 46 goals and assists is a new Premier League record for a 38-game season and the all-time mark of 47 looks likely to fall before the season is out.
Salah's tally of 185 goals in the English top flight is the fifth highest in Premier League history and he is in the top 10 for assists.
His goal against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday moved him ahead of Argentina's Sergio Aguero.
Salah is now the outright leading non-England goal scorer of all time.
Ahead of Salah in the standings is Andy Cole – by just two goals.
Don't bet against Salah overtaking Cole before the 2024/25 season is over.

Pirates chase PSL winger, while Chiefs seek Mayele's alternative
Orlando Pirates are hopeful they will sign uSuthu star Tshepang Moremi, who recorded ten goal contributions last campaign. The 24-year-old, who is also being monitored by Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs, expressed his desires to partake in soccer's biggest stages, saying, 'I'd say that I am looking forward to keeping on improving. I aim to see myself playing in the Afcon and the Fifa World Cup, so I want to score goals and rack up assists.' Moremi has each of the PSL's big three after his signature, a testament to his skill and potential. 'There has been interest in Tshepang, and it's not only from Chiefs or Pirates,' a source revealed. 'Mamelodi Sundowns are also believed to be interested in him. However, the issue will be with AmaZulu, as they are not ready to release him unless the money is too good.' Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates' bitter rivals AmaKhosi are eyeing a Congolese attacker – and it's not Fiston Mayele. The player in question is Young Africans attacking midfielder Maxi Ngenzeli. 'At the moment the club has not yet signed some of the players who they want nor those they are looking at. It's believed that they are spreading the search wide so that they can get the kind of players they really need this season,' an inside source said. 'Apparently, Maxwell Nzengeli is one player they are also looking at. Coach Nabi knows him already, and the scouts and recruiters are also believed to have liked him and are looking at the possibility of getting him, depending on the conditions around the transfer.'

Tough schedule revealed for Proteas at Women's Cricket World Cup
South Africa will open their campaign against England in Bengaluru on 3 October. National captain Laura Wolvaardt will lead the SA team at the Women's Cricket World Cup later this year. Picture: Isuru Sameera/Gallo Images The Proteas will need to be ready to do some travelling between games, it was revealed on Monday, with the International Cricket Council (ICC) announcing the fixtures for the Women's Cricket World Cup to be played in India and Sri Lanka later this year. The eight teams in the tournament will compete in a round-robin stage, with the top four sides qualifying for the semifinals, and the SA squad will play their first three games in different cities. They open their campaign against England in Bengaluru on 3 October, before moving on to Indore for a clash with New Zealand three days later, followed by a match against India in Vizag on 9 October. They will then have a chance to settle in, however, as they spend a week in Vizag (with another game against Bangladesh on 13 October). But they must then pack their bags again and cross borders, heading to Colombo for fixtures against Sri Lanka on 17 October and Pakistan four days later. Then they return to Indore for what could be a crunch match against defending champions Australia on 25 October. Playoff venues If they progress to the semifinals, the SA women will have to travel again, with one game being played in Bengaluru and the other in either Colombo or Guwahati. The tournament final is scheduled for 2 November in either Bengaluru or Colombo. The only one of the five host venues in the tournament where the Proteas might not play is Assam Cricket Association Stadium in Guwahati. It was also confirmed yesterday that India will take on co-hosts Sri Lanka in the opening match of the global showpiece in Bengaluru on 30 September 2025. Having reached the semifinals at the last two editions of the 50-over Cricket World Cup, in 2017 and 2022, the Proteas will be aiming to progress to the final for the first time. Proteas round robin fixtures 3 October – SA v England, Bengaluru 6 October – SA v New Zealand, Indore 9 October – SA v India, Vizag 13 October – SA v Bangladesh, Vizag 17 October – SA v Sri Lanka, Colombo 21 October – SA v Pakistan, Colombo 25 October – SA v Australia, Indore

Orlando Pirates: Big-names who WON't coach the Bucs
Some of the biggest names in the SA football have been linked with the Orlando Pirates job. Orlando Pirates are actively searching for a new coach. Furthermore, the next coach will have massive boots to fill following the departure of Spaniard, Jose Riveiro. As mentioned, several massive names have been linked with Pirates including Pitso Mosimane, Rulani Mokwena, Benni McCarthy and Manqoba Mngqithi. However, some of these men are not in contention due to current circumstances. Bucs legend, Benni McCarthy will not be coaching Olando Pirates next season. This is because the Bafana Bafana and Bucs legend has recently started his next coaching job. McCarthy is now in charge of Kenya. So, all reported links have now been outrightly dismissed. However, this does not mean he will never return to Mayfair. It just means McCarthy will not be coming back to Pirates any time soon. EX-SUNDOWNS COACH RULED OUT OF CONTENTION Manqoba Mngqithi will also not be coaching Pirates next season. Moreover, the ex-Sundowns coach has just started coaching PSL rivals, Golden Arrows. Meaning, he is committed to his next coaching journal with the KwaZulu Natal-based outfit. Initially, Manqoba was one of the big names linked with the Pirates hot seat. However, similarly to McCarthy he is also no longer in the running for the Bucs hot seat. Meaning, Rulani Mokwena and Pitso Mosimane are still technically in the running for the Pirates job. Meawhile, Mandla Ncikazi and Carlos Nodar Paz join the likes of Pablo Franco Martin, Florent Ibenge and German tactician, Marco Rose.
