London, UK – August 20, 2025

Mohamed Salah has cemented his status as a Premier League legend after being voted the PFA Players’ Player of the Year for a record-breaking third time. The Liverpool forward’s remarkable 2024-25 season, which saw him lead the Reds to the Premier League title, has earned him the unprecedented honour, as voted by his peers.

The Egyptian maestro surpassed the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, and Gareth Bale, who each won the award twice, to claim his latest accolade at a ceremony held in Manchester yesterday. The win completes a clean sweep of individual honours for Salah this season, as he had already secured the Premier League Player of the Season, the Golden Boot for most goals, and the Playmaker award for most assists. This makes him the first player in history to win all three in the same campaign.

Headlines from Salah’s Historic Season

 * Dominant Performance: Salah’s sensational campaign included 29 goals and 18 assists in the Premier League alone. His total of 47 goal involvements in the league equaled the all-time record, demonstrating his unmatched offensive output.

 * Liverpool’s Title Success: The 33-year-old’s contributions were instrumental in Liverpool’s Premier League triumph, as the team finished ten points clear of second-place Arsenal. Salah’s consistency and match-winning performances were a key factor in the club’s return to the top of English football.

 * A PFA First: This is the first time Salah has won the PFA award in a season where Liverpool also won the league title. He previously won it in the 2017-18 and 2021-22 seasons, during which Liverpool finished as runners-up in the league.

 * Team of the Year Recognition: Salah was one of four Liverpool players named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year, alongside teammates Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexis Mac Allister. Notably, it was the first time since 2017 that no Manchester City player was included in the team.

The achievement is a testament to Salah’s enduring quality and consistency. Speaking at the awards ceremony, Salah expressed his pride, saying, “I look at myself now, a guy coming from Egypt and making it to the top level, making history today, it’s something that makes me so proud.”

While he was also considered a favourite for the Ballon d’Or, shortcomings in the Champions League and domestic cup competitions may affect his chances. However, the PFA award, voted for by fellow professionals, stands as the ultimate recognition of his impact and a clear declaration that he was the best player in the English Premier League this season.
