Mohamed Salah has been named Premier League Player of the Season for the second time, after playing a pivotal role in Liverpool's charge to a record-equalling 20th English title. The Egyptian forward has scored 28 league goals — five more than any other player — and provided 18 assists, leading Liverpool’s attack throughout the campaign. Heading into Sunday’s final fixture against FA Cup champions Crystal Palace, the 32-year-old is just two assists shy of the single-season record shared by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. The award combines votes from the public and a panel of football experts. Salah previously won it in the 2017–18 season and now breaks a four-year streak of Manchester City players claiming the honour. His Liverpool teammate, Virgil van Dijk — the last non-City player to win the accolade in 2018–19 — was also among the nominees this year. Van Dijk, who signed a contract extension alongside Salah earlier in the season, was joined in the final shortlist by Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch, Arsenal’s Declan Rice, Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, and Forest’s Chris Wood. Earlier this month, Salah was also named the Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year, securing nearly 90% of the vote — the largest winning margin recorded this century.
