A Rare Double for the Egyptian King
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has secured the Premier League Player of the Season accolade for 2024-25, as confirmed by the league’s official website. This marks Salah’s second time receiving this prestigious honor, following his initial win in the 2017-18 campaign.
With this accomplishment, Salah joins an exclusive club of two-time winners, alongside Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidić, and Kevin De Bruyne. The Egyptian forward’s recent contract extension sets the stage for an ambitious goal: to become the first player in Premier League history to claim the award three times.
On the Brink of a Historic Treble
Salah’s exceptional season has positioned him for an unprecedented achievement. Leading the charts in both goals and assists, he stands on the cusp of becoming the first player to simultaneously secure the Golden Boot, the Playmaker Award, and the Player of the Season title in a single campaign.
Record-Breaking Performance
Salah’s contributions were pivotal in Liverpool’s second-ever Premier League title. His tally of 28 goals outpaced the competition by five, while his 18 assists surpassed the nearest rival by six. This combined total of 46 goal contributions establishes a new record for a 38-game Premier League season.
The Egyptian star is also within striking distance of the overall Premier League record of 47 contributions, set by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole during 42-game seasons.
Climbing the All-Time Charts
At 32, Salah continues to ascend the ranks of Premier League legends. This season saw him rise to third place on Liverpool’s all-time top scorers list with 244 goals. In the Premier League, he has climbed to fifth place with 185 goals, trailing only Shearer (260), Harry Kane (213), Wayne Rooney (208), and Cole (187).
Notably, Salah has overtaken Sergio Agüero to become the Premier League’s highest-scoring foreign player and has moved up to fourth in the combined goals and assists rankings.
A Fan Favorite and Expert Choice
Salah’s award was determined through a combination of fan votes and expert panel input. He topped a shortlist of eight players, including teammates Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch, as well as other standout performers like Morgan Gibbs-White, Alexander Isak, Bryan Mbeumo, Declan Rice, and Chris Wood.
This victory ends a five-year streak of Manchester City players claiming the Player of the Season honor, further highlighting Salah’s exceptional campaign.
Looking Ahead
As Salah basks in the glow of his second Player of the Season award, the football world eagerly anticipates his next move. With records falling and new milestones in sight, the Egyptian forward shows no signs of slowing down. His consistent excellence and ability to evolve his game continue to captivate fans and confound opponents alike.
The 2025-26 season promises to be another thrilling chapter in Salah’s illustrious career. As he chases an unprecedented third Player of the Season award, the Premier League braces itself for more magic from the Liverpool talisman. Whether he’s breaking scoring records or redefining the role of a modern forward, Salah’s impact on English football remains undeniable and ever-growing.
