Mohamed Salah: The Premier League King Who Never Stops Making History

Mohamed Salah crowned PFA Player of the Year 2025.

Mohamed Salah continues to write history, this time adding another milestone to his glittering career after being crowned Premier League Player of the Season 2024-2025, at the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Awards ceremony held at the Manchester Opera House on Tuesday night. With this triumph, Salah became the first player in Premier League history to win the award three times, having previously claimed it in the 2017-2018 and 2021-2022 seasons. This achievement cements the Egyptian star’s place among the all-time greats of English football, highlighting his remarkable consistency since joining Liverpool in 2017. A Phenomenal Season Leading to the Title Salah delivered one of his finest campaigns to date, directly contributing to 47 goals (29 scored + 18 assists), guiding Liverpool to reclaim the Premier League title. His influence went far beyond numbers—he was the inspirational leader on and off the pitch, embodying resilience and determination. These statistics put him well ahead of his competitors in the race for the award and reaffirm his status as one of the best players in the world, even beyond the age of thirty. Who Challenged Him for the Award? The final shortlist featured a number of standout performers, but none could eclipse Salah’s brilliance: Alexander Isak (Newcastle United): the league’s second-highest scorer behind Salah. Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): a shining light in an otherwise disappointing season, contributing 8 goals and 10 assists. Declan Rice (Arsenal): a midfield powerhouse despite his club’s failure to secure silverware. Cole Palmer (Chelsea): a rising star who delivered impressive numbers despite his team’s inconsistency. Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool): a key figure in the Reds’ midfield, providing balance alongside Szoboszlai and Gravenberch. Ultimately, Salah’s staggering output and decisive role in Liverpool’s title win left no doubt about the rightful winner. Other Winners on the Night Salah wasn’t the only star to shine in Manchester, as the ceremony also honored: Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa), who claimed the Young Player of the Season award. Mariona Caldentey, who took home the main accolade in the Women’s Super League. James Trafford, now at Manchester City, who was named Championship Player of the Season after a brilliant campaign with Burnley. Standing Among Premier League Legends By securing his third Player of the Season award, Salah has surpassed legendary names such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, and Alan Shearer—none of whom managed to win it three times. This feat establishes Salah not just as a Liverpool icon or an Arab and African hero, but as a global football legend whose legacy is firmly etched into Premier League history. Salah’s Impact on Egyptian Football Salah’s achievements have resonated far beyond Anfield, sparking pride among millions of Egyptians and Arabs worldwide. Each goal he scores and every award he lifts serves as an inspiration to the next generation of players dreaming of making it to the top level of world football. Looking Ahead at Anfield Despite intense speculation about his future last season, Salah remained focused, delivering week in and week out before eventually signing a contract extension with Liverpool. With the new campaign already underway—starting with a win against Bournemouth and a highly anticipated clash against Newcastle on the horizon—the Egyptian star looks set to continue scripting new chapters of glory at Anfield. Mohamed Salah is no longer just a shining star in the Premier League—he is an immortal football icon. His extraordinary numbers, individual awards, and relentless performances place him firmly among the greatest players to ever grace English football. And with every season that passes, the Egyptian King proves that his journey is far from over and that football history still has many more pages to be filled with his name.
