Salah is the best in the Premier League this season

Salah received 48% of the vote, defeating two heavyweights, second and third respectively, Kevin De Bruyne and Declan Rice to win the prize. This is the second time Liverpool’s Egyptian striker has been honored by the FWA, after the first time in 2018. Last year, the winner of this poll was Man City midfielder Ruben Dias.

Salah has won the hearts of sports journalists across the UK thanks to his top form and consistency this season. In the English Premier League, the 29-year-old striker scored 22 goals, and created another 13 in 31 appearances. On all fronts, Salah’s statistics are even more impressive, when he scored 30 goals and assisted 14 goals in 44 matches.

Salah’s contribution is considered decisive, helping Liverpool stand the chance to win a treble of titles this season. They won the League Cup in February, reached the FA Cup final and the Champions League semi-final. In the English Premier League, Liverpool are fiercely competing for the championship when they are second, just one point behind Man City before round 35 this weekend.

With 22 goals, Salah is also leading the list of top scorers in the Premier League, five more goals than the next two superstars Son Heung-min and Cristiano Ronaldo. In the King of assists category, the 29-year-old star also took the lead, one line ahead of teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold.

However, this impressive performance of Salah on the other hand is also making Liverpool and fans excited. His current contract expires in 18 months. Salah currently receives a weekly salary of $ 270,000, and is rumored to want to more than double his salary in the new contract. However, the two sides have not found a common voice.

Salah personally believes he will continue to play for Liverpool next season, whether or not he signs a new contract in the summer. He said: “I think yes. But if Liverpool want to sell me, that’s a different story. I’m really not worried about this contract. I don’t let myself worry about anything. The season isn’t over yet. , and I want to close in the best way possible. To me that’s the most important thing. Then after that, we’ll see what happens.”

Salah played for Liverpool from the 2017-2018 season, scoring 44, 27, 23 and 31 goals respectively in all competitions over four seasons, helping the club win an English Premier League, a Champions League, a European Super Cup and a FIFA Club World Cup.
