Salah took 48 per cent of the vote for the Football Writers’ Association award to beat Manchester City’s midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and West Ham’s Declan Rice to the prize.

Salah, whose 30 goals this season have spearheaded Liverpool’s bid for a quadruple of trophies, is in talks about a new contract, with the club increasingly hopeful the Egyptian international will stay at Anfield.

Friday’s Football Writers’ award is the second of such accolade for the Egyptian in his time at Anfield.
