The Egypt international also recorded 13 assists as he helped Liverpool to finish second in the league, as well as winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. 


"It's a great honour to win a trophy, individual or collective and this one is big so, very happy and very proud of that," Salah said in a statement.




"This one is a really good one to win, especially because it's voted by players. It shows you that you've worked really hard and you get what you worked for. I have my room with trophies in a cabinet and I made sure that I had another space for one more. I always keep space and just try to imagine that the trophies are going to come."


Salah, who has pledged to remain at Liverpool next season despite his contract having just a year to run, previously won the award in 2018.


The 29-year-old won the prestigious Football Writers' Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year award in April, but was pipped by City's Kevin De Bruyne to the Premier League's Player of the Year award.



Mohamed Salah has picked up the PFA Player of the Year award for the second time in his career.


"When you get older, you feel like you're more stable and you know exactly what you want from football, so I'm just trying to be really chill and help the team," Salah said. "That's why I think I also won the playmaker because it's like you're more aware of the game, so you just try to make the people next to you better and try to make yourself better as well."


Meanwhile, Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden won the PFA's Young Player of the Year award for the second consecutive season.



The 22-year-old becomes the fifth male player to win the award in successive years, joining Ryan Giggs, Robbie Fowler, Wayne Rooney and Dele Alli.


"I'm really honoured to be honest, especially to win it back to back," he said in a statement. "It shows that I've come a long way this year with the consistency of my game, and I'm really pleased to win it again.


"All the best players in the world have got to show consistency and keep performing at the highest level, and this year I've just tried to do that and try and help my team as much as possible -- I've been really happy with my performances this year.


"Hopefully I can win the main award in the future, but it's all about taking small steps and improving. I always love winning individual awards, it's just nice to look at and see how far you've come so, yeah, I'm really pleased."

Nottingham boards the EPL conquest train

  The fallen Giants back to the EPL after along struggle  without fichering, in conquest for the valued tittles. Nottingham Forest have been promoted to the English Premier League (EPL) for the first time in 23 years. This was after they secured a 1-0 victory over Huddersfield Town in the Championship playoff final at Wembley on Sunday. The Reds were crowned back-to-back European champions in 1979 and 1980, right on the heels of their first (and still only) English top-division title in 1978, to go with a pair of back-to-back League Cup triumphs at the start (1978 and 1979) of Brian Clough’s famous run, before doing it again a decade later (1989 and 1990). Nottingham Forest were one of the 20 founding members of the Premier League in 1992, but they were relegated from the top flight in the first season, for the first of four relegations over a 12-year span, the last from which they have only now found their way back. Forest spent three seasons in League One from 2005 to 2008,...

Eriksen made a heroic return to the Premier League in January, less than seven months after suffering a cardiac arrest while playing for Denmark during last summer's European Championships. The creative midfielder decided to sign for Thomas Frank's side on a six-month contract, enjoying a productive few months as he netted one goal and provided a further four assists in just ten starts. Eriksen proved that he is still a very good player in the Premier League and it would make sense for United to look at the option of signing him as a free agent this summer. football.london understands that Spurs have indeed discussed a return for Eriksen, with his history both at the club and with Conte and the bargain nature of a deal ticking a lot of boxes.
