Mohamed Salah is set to make history as Liverpool ’s main man insisted he has never been happier during eight years at Anfield.
The Egyptian international received the Footballer of the Year award from the Football Writers Association for the third time due to his exceptional contribution in aiding Liverpool secure victory. Premier League .
Salah needs two goal involvements in Liverpool’s final home game against Crystal Palace to set a Premier League record.
He already has the best tally for a 38-game campaign but he can surpass the tally of 47, which is currently held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer .
They posted their remarkable figures in a 42-game season – Cole got to that tally in 1993-94 and Shearer emulated him 12 months later when he led Blackburn Rovers to the title.

'It signifies a great deal to receive this award,' stated Salah, who had been honored earlier in both 2018 and 2022.
'It’s amazing to witness all these names, and it feels incredibly special. I’m here due to our victory in the Premier League, where my contributions made an impact on the team.'
