BEVERLY HILLS, May 13, (THEWILL) – Mohamed Salah of Liverpool has scooped up yet another award after his fabulous first season in England as the Egypt star was named the Premier League’s Player of the Year on Sunday.
Salah had already won the PFA Player of the Year voted for by his fellow players, as well as the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award and Liverpool’s own Player of the Year prize.
The 25-year-old’s deluge of individual honours come at the end of a season in which he has scored 31 goals in 37 league matches following his move from Roma last year.
Salah broke the Premier League record of 31 goals in a 38-game season as he scored his 32nd goal against Brighton on Sunday and has now scored 44 goals in 51 games in all competitions for Liverpool this season.
“They say I didn’t have success here the first time,” Salah said.
“So it was always in my mind to have success here in the Premier League. I am very happy. I am very proud to win it.”
