Mohamed Salah named FWA footballer of the year for third time

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been named the Football Writers’ Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year for the third time, following a remarkable campaign that saw him play a key role in Liverpool’s Premier League title triumph.

Salah received an overwhelming 90% of the votes from the 900-member FWA panel, highlighting the dominant impact he has had this season.

The Egyptian becomes only the second player to win the award three times, joining Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

The 32-year-old forward delivered an outstanding performance throughout the season, contributing 28 goals and 18 assists to guide Liverpool to their second Premier League title and first since 2020.

With 46 goal involvements, he is just one shy of the all-time Premier League season record.

Salah’s form has also put him in strong contention for other major accolades, including the Premier League Player of the Season and the Players’ Player of the Year.

He recently signed a contract extension with the club in April, signaling his commitment to Liverpool’s continued success under new manager Arne Slot.

His latest award makes him the first Liverpool player to receive the honor since Jordan Henderson in the 2019/20 season.
