Surpassing other candidates Kevin De Bruyne, David De Gea, Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and James Tarkowski, the Egyptian player has received this honor. He was voted by the professional council, captains of Premier League clubs and fans around the world.
Salah played brilliantly in the 2017-20 season for Liverpool. He currently holds the record of 31 goals/season in the top flight of England. If he strikes against Brighton today, he will break it.
In addition, Salah is also the first African player to reach the milestone of 30 goals/season in the Premier League. Salah has also been voted the top player of the English top flight three times this season. This is something that no player has ever done before.
In response to the above honor, Salah said: I am very happy and very proud to win this award. They said I was unsuccessful in my first attempt at this tournament. That reminded me to sing successfully in the Premier League.
Previously, Salah also received the award for best player of the season from the Professional Players' Association (PFA) and the Journalists' Association.
In round 38 of the Premier League tonight, Salah and his teammates need to avoid stumbling against Brighton at Anfield to secure a place in the top 4.
After a series of make-up matches in midweek, the gap between Liverpool and Chelsea (the team ranked 5th) is only 2 points. However, the goal difference between the two teams is quite large: +42 and +27.
At the end of this month, exactly at 1:45 a.m. on May 27, Vietnam time, Liverpool will face Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final. This match will take place at NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine.
