Liverpool Egyptian forward, Mohammed Salah has been named the Professional Footballers Association's (PFA) best for his stellar performance in his debut season with the Anfield giants.
Salah fended off competition from Manchester City's trio of Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Leroy Sane to clinch the award. Tottenham's Harry Kane and Manchester United's David De Gea made up the six-man shortlist.
The Egyptian becomes the first Liverpool player to claim the award after Luis Suarez in 2014. He has scored 41 goals in 46 appearances for the Reds this season and would also be looking to help them to their first Champions League final since 2007 when he travels with the Reds face his former club, AS Roma in the Semifinal of the Champions League. He is also the first Egyptian to ever win the award.
Salah also broke a record as the first player to win three PFA Player of the Month award in a season, claiming it in February, March and November. He would be looking to take this scintillating form to the summer World Cup in Russia.
In the other Category, German youngster, Leroy Sane beat fellow teammates, Ederson and Raheem Sterling, Tottenham's Harry Kane, Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford to be named PFA's Young Player of the Year. He becomes the first Man City player to win the award since Peter Barnes in 1975/1976 season. He also is the first German to win this award.
