Liverpool’s No.11 was presented with the prize for a joint-record third time by club legend Ian Rush at the FWA’s annual dinner in central London.

Salah secured the 2025 men’s honour after receiving 90 per cent of the vote from the FWA’s 918 eligible members, making it the biggest winning margin this century.

The Egyptian was recognised for his stunning form throughout 2024-25 that helped Liverpool become Premier League champions.

In all competitions, Salah has produced 33 goals and 23 assists to date from his 51 appearances.

His Reds teammate Virgil van Dijk finished second in the FWA vote, ahead of Alexander Isak (Newcastle United) and Declan Rice (Arsenal).
