Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, Liverpool player, continues to make history in the English Premier League by winning the Player of the Year award for the 2024-2025 season. According to the global ranking by lentedesportiva, the award, given annually since the 1992-1993 season to the best player in the league, has placed Salah once again among the legends, having previously won it in the 2017-2018 and 2021-2022 seasons. Salah is the third Liverpool player in history to win the award three times, reinforcing his status as one of the greatest stars in the Premier League and confirming his ability to remain at the top more than seven seasons after joining the Reds. With his third title, Mohamed Salah cements his position as an Arab and African icon in the Premier League, standing alongside legends such as Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kevin De Bruyne.

The global network noted that the new award is not only a tribute to an exceptional season by ‘Mo’ but also a testament to his consistency and continuous excellence since joining Liverpool in 2017, where he led the team to win the English Premier League and the Champions League, in addition to breaking numerous individual records. The award has crowned football legends in England for more than three decades, starting with Paul McGrath (Aston Villa) in 1993, through Manchester United stars like Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Wayne Rooney, to Arsenal legends such as Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry, and Robin van Persie, as well as shining names from Chelsea like John Terry, Frank Lampard, and N’Golo Kanté.

The award also featured global stars in the last decade, most notably Riyad Mahrez with Leicester City in the ‘miracle’ 2015-2016 season, Virgil van Dijk with Liverpool in 2018-2019, and Kevin De Bruyne who won it two consecutive seasons with Manchester City in 2020 and 2021, before Erling Haaland and Phil Foden made their mark in the last two seasons.
