Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has etched his name in football history by winning the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Player of the Year award for an unprecedented third time. The 33-year-old Egyptian star received the honor on Tuesday, solidifying his status as one of the Premier League's most influential players.
Salah's 2023-24 season saw him dominate with 29 goals and 18 assists, securing Liverpool's league title victory. His performance earned him a historic trifecta: Premier League Player of the Season, Golden Boot, and Playmaker Award – a first in English football history.
"This award means everything," Salah said during the ceremony. "Coming from Egypt to compete at this level and break records – it’s a dream I’ll never take for granted." The forward triumphed over a shortlist featuring teammates and rivals alike, including Arsenal's Declan Rice and Chelsea's Cole Palmer.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has redefined consistency in top-flight football. His latest achievement adds to growing recognition of Asian and African talent shaping global sports narratives, resonating particularly with diaspora communities and sports analysts tracking athlete career trajectories.
