(MENAFN) Liverpool’s Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah was honored as the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) player of the year on Tuesday, becoming the first footballer to secure this accolade three times.
The 33-year-old outshone competitors including teammates Alexis Mac Allister, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, and Arsenal’s Declan Rice to claim the prestigious award.
Salah, who previously earned the title in 2018 and 2022, was instrumental in Liverpool’s league triumph last season, helping the team finish 10 points clear of second-placed Arsenal.

Reflecting on his achievement, Salah stated, "This very special award hits different when we have an important trophy to go along with it."
He added, "Being champions is what matters and we will fight to do it again this season. I am incredible grateful to the players who voted for me."
