Salah wins record third PFA Player of the Year award

LONDON-- Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah has become the first player to win the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Men's Player of the Year award for the third time.

Salah, who also won the award in 2018 and 2022, topped a six-player shortlist that included Liverpool teammate Alexis Mac Allister, Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes, Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, Chelsea's Cole Palmer, and Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice.

The honor marks a historic milestone for the 33-year-old following his instrumental role in Liverpool's Premier League title win last season. Salah finished the 2024-25 campaign as the league's top scorer with 29 goals, along with 18 assists.

Salah's outstanding season also saw him win the Premier League Player of the Season award and be voted the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year.

Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers was named Young Player of the Year, with former England manager Gareth Southgate receiving the 2025 PFA Merit Award.
