A record-breaking third PFA Players' Player of the Year for Mo Salah

The Egyptian is now the first person to receive the prize for a third time, following his successes in 2017-18 and 2021-22.

Liverpool's Mo Salah has become the first footballer to win the PFA Player of the Year for a third time.

Announced during a ceremony in Manchester on Tuesday evening, the Egyptian is now the first person to receive the prize for a third time, following his successes in 2017-18 and 2021-22.

Salah topped the polling of his fellow professionals from this year's six-man shortlist – which included clubmate Alexis Mac Allister – to make it the 10th occasion a Red has claimed the prestigious honour.

The recipient of the 2024-25 Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year and Premier League Player of the Season awards, the 33-year-old has been recognised again for his incredible output in the previous campaign.

On the way to collecting a second Premier League winner's medal, Salah produced 34 goals and 23 assists from his 52 appearances in all competitions.

The PFA Player of the Year trophy is widely considered the most prestigious individual award in English football, as it is voted for by the players themselves.

First awarded in 1974 to Leed's Norman Hunter, the title is the centrepiece of the Professional Footballers’ Association annual awards evening.

Salah’s third time winning the award beats the two previously managed by Mark Hughes, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Kevin De Bruyne.
