Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has won the men’s 2021-22 Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Player of the Year award.

It is the second time the Egypt international has won the prize voted on by current and former players, having also won in 2018.

Salah tied for the Premier League lead in goals on the year with 23 alongside Son Heung-min, as Liverpool fell just one point short of the league title.

Salah is now only the sixth male player to win the award twice, after Mark Hughes, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Gareth Bale and Kevin De Bruyne.
