Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has won the Professional Footballers’ Association men’s player of the year award, with Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers named young player of the year, BBC Sport reports.
Former England manager Sir Gareth Southgate is the 2025 recipient of the PFA merit award for his contributions to football and achievements with the national side.
Salah, 33, is the first player to win the accolade on three occasions after playing a key role in Liverpool’s title success last season.
Asked if he had ambitions to win awards while growing up in Egypt, he said: “Of course I wanted to be a football player and I wanted to be famous and provide for my family, but you don’t think about the big stuff when you are still in Egypt.
“When you grow, you start to see things differently and you start to have ambition and you start to the see the bigger picture.”

Lmao..since Salah moved to the epl from Basel swizz league his life has never been the same… .Imagine PFA on three occasion and lots more…at his old age 33 he is even earning 400k per week….still chasing riches and greatness together what a wise man…
Even erling haaland achievement just only 2/3 years in the premier league and with man city, has surpassed some people achievement in Wolfsburg, Lille, Napoli and that tolotolo club put together hahahaha
Dude wasted his years clubbing, chasing Bob risky and insulting coaches and wants elite club to break the bank to sign him… lmao
Dude sold his greatness and pedigree because of money…there is a saying if you want eat frog, at least eat the one wey get meat… lmao so my point is if you want to chase this money properly and forget about greatness entirely why don’t you just go to Saudi where they were ready to pay you 800k per week… at least Saudi league is almost on the same par with that tolotolo league hahahaha
