Mohamed Salah has been named the 2024/25 EA SPORTS Player of the Season after becoming the Premier League’s highest-scoring foreigner and leading Liverpool to the title with record-breaking goals and assists.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been crowned the 2024/25 EA SPORTS Player of the Season, sealing his status as one of the Premier League’s all-time greats.

The Egyptian forward is now only the fifth player in Premier League history to win the award multiple times.

Salah’s phenomenal campaign has seen him lead Liverpool to their second Premier League title, showing his unmatched goal-scoring and playmaking abilities.

With 28 goals this season, five more than any other player, and 18 assists, Salah is on the brink of making history on the league’s final day.
