The Egyptian star scooped the prize ahead of the likes of Kevin De Brunye and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mohamed Salah has won the 2021-22 Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Player of the Year award.
The Egypt international spent another brilliant campaign at Liverpool, scoring 23 goals in his 35 league games for the Reds. He won the award ahead of Kevin De Bruyne, who was his closest rival.
In addition to the Manchester City star, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Harry Kane and Virgil van Dijk were also nominated for the award.
Salah has already claimed the Golden Shoe, Playmaker of the Year award, and Goal of the Season prize at the Premier League.
By winning the PFA award for the second time, the Liverpool star joins an elite club of players who have won the award more than once.
Ronaldo and De Bruyne, along with Mark Hughes, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry and Gareth Bale, are the only players with two PFA Player of the Year prizes.
‘I made sure I had space for another trophy’
Speaking after winning the award, Salah said: “It’s a great honour to win a trophy, individual or collective and this one is big, so I’m very happy and very proud of that.
“This one is a really good one to win, especially because players vote for it. 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 award, 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.”
