Mohamed Salah is not giving up on the target of breaking Ian Rush's Liverpool record for the most goals scored in a single season.

Mohamed Salah has refused to give up on the target of breaking Ian Rush's Liverpool record for the most goals scored in a single season.

Salah has scored 43 goals in 50 games this season during a remarkable debut campaign with the Reds that has already earned him the PFA Player of the Year and Footballer of the Year accolades.

Rush, meanwhile, scored 47 goals for Liverpool during the 1983-84 campaign, and Salah has two games left to try to overtake the Welsh legend.

When asked by the Liverpool Echo if he was confident of overhauling Rush, Salah replied: "Anything can happen... I think so!

"I'm not the same player now [as at Chelsea], not at all. I've improved a lot, to be honest. I improved a lot at Roma.

"You can see the finishing, the speed, the power, the threat, but I cannot say everything is on me, because my teammates have made a difference, the coaches, the staff, they make my game easier and they always try to help me on the field and off it."

Liverpool see out the Premier League season at home to Brighton & Hove Albion before locking horns with Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Kiev on May 26.
