From Egypt to Anfield, Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has etched his name into football history again by winning the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award for an unprecedented third time.
The 33-year-old led the Premier League last season with 29 goals and added 18 assists, playing a starring role in Liverpool's title-winning campaign that finished 10 points clear of runners-up Arsenal.
By sweeping the Premier League Player of the Season, Golden Boot and Playmaker awards, Salah became the first player ever to claim all three in the same season. Now, he adds the PFA prize to his trophy cabinet after topping a six-man shortlist that included Alexis Mac Allister, Alexander Isak, Bruno Fernandes, Declan Rice and Cole Palmer.
'It's an incredible, incredible feeling. I just want to thank everybody who voted for me. Doing that in the Premier League, and at that age, 33 now, it's something that makes me so proud,' said Salah.
As Salah continues to redefine excellence at 33, his journey from Egypt to the Premier League inspires football fans and young changemakers around the world, reminding us that dedication and talent know no borders.
