Liverpool forward Mohamed
Salah was named Player of the Year by England’s Professional Footballers’
Association (PFA) on Sunday, becoming the first Egyptian to receive the award.
Salah was rewarded for his performances which
have yielded 41 goals in all competitions since joining from AS Roma last year.
He has helped Liverpool reach the UEFA
Champions League semi-finals and secured a likely top-four finish in the
English Premier League.
The 25-year-old came out on
top of a six-man shortlist, voted for by PFA members from the 92 Premier League
and Football League teams.
The list also included league title winners in
Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, Leroy Sane and David Silva.
Sane did, however, win the Young Player of the
Year award while Fran Kirby of Chelsea Ladies was named women’s Player of the
Year at London’s Grosvenor House hotel.
