Salah named Premier League Player of the Year

Mohamed Salah has added yet another award to his collection after being named the Premier League Player of the Year.

The London Evening Standard confirms that the Liverpool star saw off competition from David de Gea, Harry Kane, James Tarkowski, Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling.

Salah has enjoyed an incredible season at Anfield, picking up more induvidual club awards, winning the Players’ Player of the Season and the Player of the Season.

The former Chelsea winger joined from Roma in a £34 million deal in the summer but has hit the heights that nobody expected after joining the club.

The 25-year-old has scored 42 goals in all competitions for the Reds this season and has been key in their journey to the Champions League final.

Of the 42 goals, 31 have come in the Premier League and the forward needs just one goal against Brighton on the final day of the season to break the record for most goals over a 38-game season.
