Mohamed Salah has been named Liverpool’s Standard Chartered Men’s Player of the Season for 2024–25, marking the fifth time he has received the award. His consistency over recent years places him among the most decorated players in the club’s modern era.
The Egyptian forward was instrumental in Liverpool’s return to the top of the Premier League table this season, leading the team in goals and assists. His performances were also widely followed in the broader football ecosystem, influencing trends on fantasy platforms, analytics trackers, and even non-Gamstop betting sites that monitor star player activity across competitions. These sites operate outside of the UK, so they don’t need to follow Gamstop regulations.
Fifth Time on Top
Salah’s fifth Player of the Season award further solidifies his standing among the most consistent performers in Liverpool history. He previously won the accolade in 2017-18, 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2023-24. This year’s award makes it two in a row, underlining his sustained impact over nearly a decade at Anfield.
Very few players have received this honour more than twice. Salah has now surpassed that benchmark comfortably, demonstrating his value across different tactical systems and managerial regimes. From the intensity of Klopp’s counter-pressing to Slot’s possession-focused adaptation, Salah remains a fixture in Liverpool’s attacking identity. His ability to stay available, productive, and decisive continues to set him apart.
Stats That Speak for Themselves
In statistical terms, Salah’s 2024-25 campaign stands among the best of his career. He scored 34 goals and registered 23 assists in all competitions. In the Premier League, he recorded 28 goals and 18 assists, setting a new record for combined goal involvements (46) in a 38-game season.
Those figures secured him both the Golden Boot and the Playmaker Award, making him one of the few players in league history to top both charts in a single season. His contribution was officially recognized by the league, which named him the 2024/25 EA SPORTS Player of the Season. In doing so, Salah became only the fifth player in Premier League history to win the award twice, joining Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidić, and Kevin De Bruyne.
Notably, he achieved all of this without appearing in every matchday squad. He remained Liverpool’s most dangerous player, even during stretches of squad rotation, injury management, and fixture congestion.
Milestones Along the Way
Beyond statistics, Salah reached several major career milestones this season. He began the campaign with a goal and an assist in the 2-0 opening-day win over Ipswich Town. In April, he made his 400th competitive appearance for Liverpool – a feat achieved by only a handful of players.
He also climbed to third on Liverpool’s all-time scorers list, passing Billy Liddell and Gordon Hodgson. His total of 244 goals places him behind only Roger Hunt and Ian Rush. He was named Player of the Match 14 times and won the club’s Player of the Month award on four occasions, confirming his influence across the season.
Climbing the Premier League Ranks
Salah’s Premier League legacy also advanced this season. With 185 goals, he now ranks fifth on the competition’s all-time scoring list – just one behind Andrew Cole. He remains the highest-scoring African player in Premier League history and has done so in fewer seasons than many peers above him.
His sustained excellence was further acknowledged when he received the 2025 FWA Footballer of the Year award. This was his third time winning the honor, equalling Thierry Henry’s record. The award reflects the consistency and professionalism Salah has shown both on and off the pitch and reinforces his continued relevance in English football’s highest tier.
