Liverpool, his club, also paid respect to the 29-year-old for this achievement.
“The PFA Player of the Year…Congratulations, Mo Salah,” the Reds said on Twitter.
“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. 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,” Salah said.
