Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Arsenal striker Alessia Russo have been voted the Football Writers’ Association men’s and women’s player of the season.
The winners were announced on Friday after votes by football journalists in England were tallied.
Salah has scored 28 goals and provided 18 assists to help Liverpool win the English Premier League title, breaking the record for the most goal involvements in a single 38-game campaign.
The Egypt forward also scored three goals and provided four assists as Liverpool reached the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, where they were eliminated by finalists Paris Saint-Germain.
Last month the 32-year-old signed a new two-year contract to stay at Anfield until 2027.
Salah won 90% of the votes cast by over 900 FWA members, marking the biggest winning margin this century.
Liverpool team-mate Virgil van Dijk came second in the vote, with Newcastle striker Alexander Isak third and Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice fourth.
Salah joins Thierry Henry as the only player to win the award three times.
Russo beat last year’s winner Khadija Shaw to become the second Arsenal player to win the prize.
