Mohamed Salah is wasting no time making his mark at Trabzonspor. The Egyptian forward has become the fastest player in Turkish Süper Lig history to record 10 goal contributions, with seven goals and three assists in his first seven games.
A New Chapter at Trabzonspor
After leaving Liverpool at the end of last season, Salah joined Trabzonspor as a free agent in August, signing a two-year contract. The move marked the beginning of an unexpected new chapter in his career, with the Egyptian forward quickly proving his value to his new team.
The First Player to Reach 10 Goal Contributions in Seven Games
Salah has set a new Turkish Süper Lig record by registering 10 goal contributions in his first seven league appearances. With seven goals and three assists, he has made an immediate impact, becoming a key figure in Trabzonspor’s attack.
He added his third assist of the campaign on Saturday, setting up teammate Francolino in Trabzonspor’s 3-0 victory over Samsunspor.
Named September’s Player of the Month
Salah’s strong start also earned him the Turkish Süper Lig Player of the Month award for September 2026. This came after he scored four goals in three league appearances during the month, including a hat-trick and an assist in Trabzonspor’s impressive 4-0 win over defending champions Galatasaray.
Leading the League’s Scoring Charts
Salah is also topping the league’s scorers, sharing the lead with Gift Orban of Umit Sportif. Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray, Vedat Muriqi of Fenerbahçe, and Eldor Shomurodov of İstanbul Başakşehir have each scored six goals.
His assist against Samsunspor also brought him level at the top of the league’s assists chart, underlining his impact as both a goalscorer and a playmaker.
Trabzonspor Are Closing in on the Top Spot
Trabzonspor currently sit fifth in the Turkish Süper Lig, just three points behind league leaders Galatasaray. Their 4-0 victory over the defending champions before the recent international break gave them a major boost, and Salah’s form could prove crucial as they look to climb higher in the standings.
With records already broken, a Player of the Month award under his belt, and Trabzonspor pushing to climb the league table, Mo Salah is off to an impressive start in Turkey. As the season continues, all eyes will be on the Egyptian forward to see how far he can take his record-breaking run.
