Mohamed Salah has made history by becoming the first player to win the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Player of the Year award three times, claiming the 2025 prize. This achievement puts him ahead of previous two-time winners such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, and Gareth Bale. Salah previously won the award in 2018 and 2022.
The 33-year-old Liverpool forward received the award at a gala event in Manchester, where his fellow players recognized his outstanding performance in the 2024-25 season. Salah scored 29 Premier League goals in Liverpool’s title-winning campaign and totaled 34 goals and 23 assists across all competitions, helping Liverpool secure their second Premier League title during that period. His combined 47 goal involvements in the league matched the all-time record for the statistic, earning him both the Golden Boot and Playmaker awards.
Salah’s victory came from a shortlist including Liverpool teammate Alexis Mac Allister, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, and Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. Alongside Salah’s individual success, Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers was voted PFA Young Player of the Year, marking the club’s first winner of the young player award since James Milner in 2010.
Recognizing the historic milestone, Salah remarked on his journey from Egypt to the top level of football, expressing pride in making such history. His illustrious career at Liverpool has placed him among other club legends like Terry McDermott, Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, and Steven Gerrard, all past winners of the PFA Players’ Player of the Year while at Liverpool.
Other notable winners at the 2025 PFA Awards included Mariona Caldentey of Arsenal, who won the Women's Player of the Year after leading her team to European success. The awards also celebrated young talents and standout players across various English football leagues, reinforcing the prestigious nature of the PFA honors.
