Liverpool and Egypt striker Mohamed Salah has won this year’s Football Writers’ Association Men’s Footballer of the Year award for the second time.
Salah, who leads this Premier League season’s goal-scoring chart with 22 goals and 13 assists, won the award in the 2017-2018 season.
The award, which started in the 1947-1948 season with England’s Stanley Matthews winning the maiden edition, records former Arsenal striker and France International Thierry Henry with the highest wins.

Though Salah looks promising to equal the record and probably leapfrog Henry who has the highest record of three wins, his contract imbroglio with Liverpool, if not rectified, may force the Egyptian to leave England.
Alongside Salah, Australian Sam Kerr, who also won the Football Writers’ Association Women’s Footballers of the Year award for the 2021-2022 season, is the leading scorer in the Women’s Super League.
Kerr, 28, leads Chelsea’s attack and has been very instrumental to the club’s success this season.
The accolades to be presented formally to the recipients on May 5, is the 75th edition since its inception in the 1947-1948 season to decorate specific talents in the English league.
