Mohamed Salah has etched his name even deeper into Premier League folklore, claiming the 2024/25 EA SPORTS Player of the Season award, his second after a record-shattering campaign that could still rewrite history on the final day.
The Egyptian becomes only the fifth player to win the award more than once, joining an elite club that includes Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidić, and Kevin De Bruyne. His first came in 2017/18; now, seven years later, Salah has done it again, with style, numbers, and silverware to match.
Salah’s season has been nothing short of extraordinary. He’s fired Liverpool to their second-ever Premier League title, netting 28 goals and assisting 18 more. His 46 direct goal involvements in a 38-match season is unprecedented and he’s just one off the all-time record set in a longer campaign by legends Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.
The 32-year-old has shattered milestones almost weekly. He’s now Liverpool’s third all-time top scorer with 244 goals and has climbed to fifth in the Premier League’s all-time scoring list with 185, surpassing legends like Frank Lampard and Sergio Agüero.
This season, he also became the Premier League’s highest-scoring overseas player, overtaking Agüero’s 184-goal mark. His relentless consistency has earned him a spot in the all-time top five for combined goals and assists.
Salah topped a competitive shortlist that included teammates Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch, with fan votes and expert panels agreeing that no one shone brighter. His win ends Manchester City’s five-year grip on the award, underlining a shifting tide in English football.
Now, with the Golden Boot and Playmaker awards within reach, Salah is eyeing a treble no player has ever achieved in Premier League history. And with another contract extension signed, he may not be done rewriting the record books just yet.
