Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been named the PFA Fans Player of the Year for 2021-22. This is the third time the 29-year-old has won the award after beating other nominees Alexander-Arnold, Kevin De Bruyne, Conor Gallagher, Phil Foden, and Declan Rice.
Despite facing some incredibly stiff competition on paper, Salah secured a huge majority in the fan vote – taking 59% ahead of obvious runner-up Kevin De Bruyne, who took just 21%. He previously claimed the title in 2018 and 2021.
Salah’s personal statistics are simply outrageous: 23 goals and 14 assists in the Premier League alone. He also picked up the FWA footballer of the year award and the Premier League goal of the season award in what has been another fantastic campaign for Liverpool’s Egyptian King.
There had been speculation that the former AS Roma and Chelsea man will seek greener pastures come the summer but Salah was quick to dispel the rumors by insisting he was staying put for the forthcoming campaign.
Klopp, however, stands to lose out on his long-serving attacking mainstay Sadio Mane with reports claiming that the Senegalese winger is closing in on signing for Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
