Mohamed Salah Named Premier League and FWA Player of the Season

, , , , ,

Mohamed Salah has been crowned Premier League Player of the Season after a sensational campaign — just days after winning the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award.

The Liverpool forward has delivered a staggering 46 goal contributions so far this season — 28 goals and 18 assists — putting him just one shy of the all-time record for a single Premier League campaign.

Salah’s consistency, creativity, and clinical finishing have powered Liverpool’s title challenge, with fans eagerly watching to see if he’ll cap off his award-winning week with a goal against Crystal Palace tonight.

With both the league and the press acknowledging his brilliance, Salah’s status as a modern Premier League great is once again undisputed.
