Manchester, Aug 20 (NationPress) Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah expressed immense pride in being the first player ever to win the Men's PFA Players' Player of the Year award three times. He emphasized that this recognition is something he will always cherish.
The Egyptian superstar led the voting among his professional peers from a competitive six-man shortlist, which included his teammate Alexis Mac Allister, marking the tenth time a Liverpool player has received this esteemed accolade.
After receiving the PFA award, previously won in 2017-18 and 2021-22, Salah shared his thoughts on this remarkable achievement, stating, "It's truly exceptional. This is a historic moment in the Premier League, one that I will always remember and never take for granted. I'm thrilled about this honor."
Last season, Salah netted an impressive 34 goals and provided 23 assists across 52 matches, breaking numerous records along the way. Reflecting on his performance, he remarked, "We had an outstanding season, and I believe it was my best at the club, perhaps even in my career. Winning the league was a significant achievement, and I look forward to continuing that success this year."
“I constantly find ways to stay motivated and strive for more. With new players joining the squad, I aim to share my experience and help them develop – that's part of being a footballer. My hunger for success drives me,” he added.
Salah has solidified his legacy at Liverpool since his transfer from AS Roma in the summer of 2017 and recently signed a contract extension in April that will keep him at Anfield until 2027.
"I'm still eager for more achievements—that's why I committed to Liverpool for an additional two years. Competing at this level in the Premier League is exhilarating. At 33, I feel I can contribute significantly in every match. I'm proud of my hard work that has brought me to this point," he concluded.
