Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah has been named PFA Player of the Year.

The 25-year-old was named Player of the Year at the 45th PFA Awards at Grosvenor House in central London on Sunday evening, having seen off tough competition from Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne.

Leroy Sane - crowned PFA Young Player of the Year on Sunday - and David Silva were the other City players on the six-man shortlist, with outstanding Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea and free-scoring Tottenham striker Harry Kane completing the nominees.

But it is Salah that has come out on top after one of the greatest debut campaigns in Liverpool's history.

Salah remarked: “I play for the team and not just for myself.

“I have the chance to thank my teammates, the coaches and all in the club for what is happening now.

“The players have helped me a lot to be here now and to score goes and I am very happy for that."
