Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has become the first Premier League player to win the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) Footballer of the Year award.
Salah is currently ahead of two-time winners Gareth Bale, Thierry Henry, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
He won the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award earlier this year.
The Egyptian winger scored 29 goals and provided 19 assists as the Reds romped to the title.
Salah beat Liverpool team-mate Alexis Mac Allister, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice and Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
“I look at myself now, a guy coming from Egypt and making it to the top level, making history today, it’s something that makes me so proud,” Salah said.
