Mohamed Salah won the PFA Player of the Year award for the second time after defeating Manchester City talisman Kevin De Bruyne.
Salah was chosen ahead of Liverpool teammates Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk, who were equal top goal scorers in the Premier League last season with 23 goals.
Salah had another fantastic season, but he was unable to lead Liverpool to the title, as they finished second behind City.
The 29-year-old also had the most assists this season, with 13, earning him the Premier League’s playmaker accolade.
Salah joins Mark Hughes, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Gareth Bale, Ronaldo, Lucy Bronze, De Bruyne, and Fran Kirby as the only players in PFA award history to win two Players’ Player titles.
It’s a great honour to win a trophy, individual or collective and this one is big so, very happy and very proud of that,’ Salah, who won the League Cup and FA Cup with Liverpool last term, he said in a interview.
“This one is a really good one to win, especially because it’s voted by players. It shows you that you’ve worked really hard and you get what you worked for.
“I have my room with trophies in a cabinet and I made sure that I had another space for one more. I always keep space and just try to imagine that the trophies are going to come.
“When you get older, you feel like you’re more stable and you know exactly what you want from football so I’m just trying to really chill and help the team.
“That’s why I think I also won the playmaker because it’s like you’re more aware of the game, so you just try to make the people next to you better and try to make yourself better as well.”
