Mohamed Salah makes history for Trabzonspor with record-breaking start

Mohamed Salah has made an immediate impact in Turkish football, setting a record that has stood for over two decades. Following his high-profile move from Liverpool to Trabzonspor, the 34-year-old has become the first foreign player in the Super Lig to net four goals in his first three starts since records began in 2000-01.

This historic start comes amidst a period of upheaval at the club. Trabzonspor recently faced an early exit from the Europa League and a managerial change, with Fatih Tekke departing the club. Despite the surrounding chaos, Salah has remained clinical, recently contributing a goal and an assist in a 5-0 thrashing of Genclerbirligi.

I would feel mixed feelings. It’s mixed feelings because I’ve been there nine years. I love the city, I love the fans, and we always had a special relationship, so it would be very tricky! Mohamed Salah on a potential Anfield reunion

The squad, which also features former Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana and defender Stefan Savic, is now focusing on the upcoming Europa Conference League group stages. High-stakes domestic clashes against Galatasaray and Besiktas are also looming, with the team relying heavily on Salah's experience.

Regarding a potential return to Anfield, Salah admitted that facing his former club would be an emotional challenge. For now, his primary goal is to help Trabzonspor secure a return to the Champions League, a feat the club has not achieved since the 2011-12 season.
