Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has made history by becoming the first player to win the PFA Men’s Player of the Year award three times, while Arsenal’s Mariona Caldentey was crowned the Women’s Player of the Year at the annual ceremony.
Salah, 33, enjoyed another spectacular season, scoring 29 goals and providing 18 assists as Arne Slot’s Liverpool stormed to the Premier League title in 2024/25.

His latest honour follows his third Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award earlier this year, underlining his dominance in English football.

Caldentey, 29, capped a sensational debut season at Arsenal by scoring 19 goals in all competitions, including eight on the Gunners’ way to lifting the Champions League with victory in the final against her former club Barcelona.
