MOHAMED SALAH NAMED PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE SEASON

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has been named the Premier League Player of the Season, after a stellar individual campaign, as Liverpool cruised to their second Premier League title, while his teammate Ryan Gravenberch was named the Young Player of the Season.

The Egyptian scored 28 goals and provided 18 assists to help the Anfield club to the title, with four games to spare.

Salah who also won the award in 2017-18, became only the fifth player to win it twice after Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidić and Kevin De Bruyne.

The former FC Basel wonger, is on course to win another Golden Boot for most goals in a season and is five strikes ahead of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak going into the final day of the season on Sunday.

With six more assists than any other player, Salah can become the first footballer to win the Golden Boot, Golden Playmaker and player of the season awards.

Salah also won the Football Writers' Association men's player of the year award for the third time earlier this month.
