Mohamed Salah has been named the Premier League Player of the Season for the 2024–25 campaign, marking his second time receiving the prestigious award.
The Egyptian forward delivered a dazzling performance, scoring 28 goals and providing 18 assists in the league, leading Liverpool to their first Premier League title under manager Arne Slot.
Liverpool clinched the title with four games to spare, equaling Manchester United’s record of 20 English top-flight titles.
Salah’s remarkable season also saw him break the record for the most goal involvements in a 38-game Premier League season, with a combined total of 46 goals and assists.
This monumental achievement places him among the ‘greatest’ of all-time, joining legends like Thierry Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo as multiple-time recipients of the Player of the Season award.
In addition to this honour, Salah was recently awarded the Football Writers’ Association Men’s Player of the Year for the third time, further stamping his status as one of the Premier League’s all-time greats .
An elated Salah said; “I would say I have never had a season like this and winning big trophies. So, I would say this is my best chance to get it right now while am still in the club because it’s been a crazy year, a crazy season with a trophy”
Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch was named Young Player of the Season, having made 36 appearances and leading all midfielders in interceptions with 59.
His defensive and playmaking abilities were crucial to Liverpool’s success.
