Mohamed Salah has wasted no time in Turkey. The Egypt captain's assist in Trabzonspor's 3-0 win over Samsunspor on Saturday 10 October 2026 made him the first player in Super Lig history with 10 goal contributions in his first seven games.
Salah, who joined on a free transfer from Liverpool in August, now has 7 goals and 3 assists. They include a hat-trick against Galatasaray, Victor Osimhen's club.
The numbers
After nine trophy-filled seasons at Anfield, plenty wondered how Salah would adapt to a new league. Seven games in, the answer is clear: Africa's most famous footballer is still one of the deadliest finishers in Europe.
