Mohamed Salah has been crowned the Premier League Player of the Season for the 2024/25 campaign, marking a phenomenal year for the Egyptian forward and Liverpool. This prestigious award is a testament to Salah’s exceptional skills on the pitch, where he powered Liverpool to their second Premier League title.
A Record-Breaking Season
Salah’s outstanding performance saw him score 28 goals and register 18 assists, making him a top contender for both the Golden Boot and Playmaker of the Season awards. His 46 goal involvements in a 38-game season have set a new record, just one shy of the overall Premier League record held by Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole, who both achieved 47 in 42-match campaigns.
Joining Elite Company
With this win, Salah joins an elite group of players who have won the Premier League Player of the Season award multiple times. He follows in the footsteps of Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidic, and Kevin De Bruyne. This achievement is particularly impressive given Salah’s age; at 32, he continues to break records and defy expectations.
A Season of Firsts and Milestones
Salah has had an incredible season, becoming the highest-scoring overseas player in Premier League history, overtaking Sergio Aguero’s 184 goals. He has also moved up to fifth on the all-time scorers’ list in the Premier League with 185 goals, behind Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney, and Andy Cole. Additionally, Salah has become the third-highest scorer for Liverpool, netting 244 goals.
What’s Next for Salah?
This Sunday, Salah will finally lift the Premier League trophy after Liverpool’s match against Crystal Palace at Anfield. Given the celebratory atmosphere and Crystal Palace’s recent FA Cup win, it’s set to be an exciting finale to the season. With his impressive stats, Salah could make history by becoming the first player to win the Premier League Player of the Season, Golden Boot, and Playmaker of the Season awards in a single campaign.
A Well-Deserved Win
The Player of the Season award was determined through a combination of public votes and expert panel opinions. Salah saw off stiff competition from his teammates Ryan Gravenberch and Virgil van Dijk, as well as other top players like Alexander Isak, Bryan Mbeumo, and Declan Rice. Gravenberch, however, took home the Young Player of the Season award, showcasing Liverpool’s talent depth.
A Record-Tying Honor
Earlier this month, Salah was named the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year for a record-tying third time. With his recent win, Salah is now poised to cast his gaze on the Ballon d’Or, potentially adding another prestigious award to his collection.
