A few days ago, he won the Football Writers' Association (PFA) Footballer of the Year award. This time, Mohamed Salah also received the title of Premier League Player of the Year. Today, the Premier League authorities announced Salah as the best player for the 2024-25 season.

Salah has won the Premier League Player of the Year award for the second time in his career. He previously won the award in the 2017-18 season. Salah also broke Manchester City's dominance by winning the award for the second time. City players were named Player of the Year for five consecutive seasons from 2020 to 2024.

The Premier League website said Salah was voted Player of the Year by a panel of experts, as well as ordinary football fans. Salah was up against Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenburch, Morgan Gibbs-White, Alexander Isak, Brian Mbuemo, Declan Rice and Chris Wood.

Although it is not known how many votes were received, Salah is expected to be ahead of the others by a large margin. The 32-year-old forward has scored 28 goals and assisted 18 more for Liverpool in the current season. No one has contributed to 46 goals in 38 league games before.

Liverpool will play their final game of the season against Crystal Palace tomorrow. If Salah can contribute two goals in this match, he will break the record for the most goals in a single season in Premier League history. Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole were involved in 47 goals each in the Premier League season, with 42 matches.

Salah is also on course to win the Golden Boot and Playmaker of the Year awards in this season's Premier League. He is five goals ahead of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who is the second highest scorer, and six ahead of John Murphy, who has the second highest assist.

If Isak and Murphy fail to close the gap by 5 and 6 goals in the final match of the season, Salah will become the first player in Premier League history to win the Golden Boot, Playmaker of the Year and Player of the Year awards in the same season.

Salah has already broken several records after a brilliant season. With 244 goals, he is now Liverpool's third-highest scorer of all time. Having started the season as the 11th highest scorer in the Premier League, he is now the fifth-highest goalscorer with 185 goals, behind only Alan Shearer (260), Harry Kane (213), Wayne Rooney (208) and Andrew Cole (187).

Salah is now the highest-scoring foreign player in the English Premier League, surpassing Argentine striker Sergio Aguero, who has scored 184 goals. And like Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidic and Kevin De Bruyne in Premier League history, he now has two Player of the Year awards. He has the opportunity to surpass everyone after renewing his two-year contract with Liverpool in April.
