Liverpool and Egypt superstar, Mohamed Salah, has been officially named the 2025 Premier League Player of the Season, marking his second time receiving the prestigious honor.
Salah, 32, delivered an extraordinary performance throughout the campaign, scoring 28 league goals and registering 18 assists, helping Liverpool clinch their record-equalling 20th English Premier League title.
Salah Breaks Manchester City’s Award Dominance
This award breaks Manchester City’s four-year dominance of the title, with Salah’s last win coming during the 2017/2018 season. His Liverpool teammate, Virgil van Dijk, was the last non-Man City player to win the award back in 2018/2019.
Salah surpassed several other top contenders to win the prize, including:
- Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
- Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool)
- Declan Rice (Arsenal)
- Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest)
- Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)
- Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
- Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest)
The award is determined by a combination of public votes and expert panel decisions.
Chasing History Against Crystal Palace
Heading into Sunday’s final fixture of the season against FA Cup champions Crystal Palace, Salah is just two assists away from matching the Premier League single-season assist record held jointly by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.

With this latest accolade, Salah cements his legacy not just as a Liverpool legend but also as one of the greatest players in Premier League history.
