Salah leads PFA Player of the Year nominees list
LIVERPOOL forward Mohamed Salah was among six players nominated for the Professional Footballers' Association Men's Player of the Year award on Friday. The 33-year-old played a key role in Liverpool's Premier League title triumph last season with 29 goals and 18 assists. The Egypt star was voted Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers' Association -- securing almost 90 percent of the votes, marking the biggest winning margin this century -- and is the firm favourite to land the PFA prize. Salah is joined on the shortlist by Liverpool team-mate Alexis Mac Allister, Arsenal's Declan Rice, Cole Palmer of Chelsea, Newcastle striker Alexander Isak and Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes. Palmer, who won the PFA Young Player of the Year award for 2023-24, was a surprise choice for the list given his struggles for Chelsea last season. Rice starred in midfield for Arsenal, hitting a career-high nine goals while adding 10 assists in 52 appearances in all competitions. Sweden striker Isak scored 23 goals for Newcastle as they qualified for the Champions League and ended a 56-year trophy drought by winning the League Cup. Fernandes was one of United's few bright spots in the club's worst top-flight campaign since 1973-74, with eight league goals and 10 assists. This year's awards ceremony will be held in Manchester on August 19.

PFA Players' Player of the Year shortlist revealed: Salah, Rice, Palmer & more battle for top prize
PFA Players' Player of the Year shortlist revealed: Salah, Rice, Palmer & more battle for top prize Mohamed Salah has been named on the shortlist for the 2024–25 PFA Players' Player of the Year award. The Liverpool forward is joined by Alexis Mac Allister, Declan Rice, Bruno Fernandes, Cole Palmer and Alexander Isak on the six-man list. Salah's 29 goals and 18 assists powered Liverpool to the Premier League title and already earned him two individual awards this season. Advertisement He now has the chance to become the first man to win the PFA prize three times, having previously done so in 2018 and 2022. Mac Allister joins him after an outstanding debut season at Anfield, anchoring the midfield through 35 league games and contributing vital balance to Arne Slot's side. Rice is nominated following a second strong campaign at Arsenal, where he continued to deliver high-level performances in midfield as the Gunners finished second. The 25-year-old has become a pillar under Mikel Arteta, providing leadership and consistency in one of Europe's most intense tactical systems. Palmer is Chelsea's sole representative after another productive season, finishing as their top scorer and most creative outlet as they secured Champions League football. Advertisement Isak's 27 goals for Newcastle United underline his growth into one of the Premier League's deadliest strikers, helping the Magpies return to Europe. Bruno Fernandes rounds out the shortlist despite Manchester United's dismal campaign, which ended with them 15th in the table. His eight goals and 10 assists stood out in a dysfunctional side, as he remained the club's most reliable attacking force throughout. The shortlist is voted for by fellow professionals, with the award long regarded as the most prestigious among players. There is no representation from Manchester City for the first time since 2017, ending a dominant run that included four winners in the past five years. Advertisement Phil Foden claimed the prize last season, with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne winning it previously. This season's winner will be announced at the PFA Awards ceremony on 19 August at the Manchester Opera House. Whether Salah makes history or a new name joins the honours list, the award will cap another memorable year in English football. It will also serve as a barometer of peer respect — the ultimate compliment in the game.
