Egypt international Mohamed Salah has been named the 2025 Football Writers’ Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year.



According to a statement on the club’s official website, Salah received the prize for a joint-record third time, having also been awarded it in 2018 and 2022, equalling Thierry Henry.


Salah took a remarkable 90 per cent of all votes cast from the 918 members eligible, winning by the biggest margin this century. He beat teammate Virgil van Dijk, who came second in the polling, with Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak and Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice completing the top four respectively. Fifteen other players received votes outside of the leading quartet.


Speaking on Salah’s latest success, FWA chair John Cross said: “Rarely has there been a more popular winner than Mo. His overwhelming victory is just a reflection of an incredible season.


“He continues to rewrite the record books and his performances this season have obviously been key to Liverpool’s 20th title. It’s been a privilege watching him this season and it will be a privilege to welcome him to our dinner to celebrate his success.”


Salah has been in scintillating form throughout 2024-25, helping Liverpool surge to the Premier League title. He has delivered 33 goals and 23 assists in just 49 appearances across all competitions.
