MANCHESTER: Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has been voted the 2024-25 Men's PFA Players' Player of the Year. The Egyptian became the first person to receive the prize for a third time, following his successes in 2017-18 and 2021-22.
Salah topped the polling of his fellow professionals from this year's six-man shortlist – which included clubmate Alexis Mac Allister – to make it the 10th occasion a Red has claimed the prestigious honour.
The recipient of the 2024-25 Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year and Premier League Player of the Season awards, the 33-year-old has been recognised again for his incredible output in the previous campaign.
On the way to collecting a second Premier League winner's medal, Salah produced 34 goals and 23 assists from his 52 appearances in all competitions.
Forty-seven of those goal involvements came in the league as the ever-present forward equalled the competition's all-time record for that statistic, adding another Golden Boot and Playmaker prize to his individual honours list.
