Mohamed Salah scoops Football Writers’ Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year for 2022

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been named the Football Writers' Association Men's Footballer of the Year for 2021/22.

Salah, 29, has contributed 22 goals and 13 assists in just 31 Premier League games as the Reds sit in second in the table, just a point behind champions Man City with just five games left this season.

Salah won 48 per cent of the vote to claim the award for the second time following his success in 2018, with Kevin De Bruyne and Declan Rice finishing second and third respectively. 

Salah becomes only the third Liverpool player to win the FWA accolade for a second time, after Kenny Dalglish and John Barnes.
