The 25-year-old became the first Egyptian to win the prestigious individual accolade on Sunday
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been named the PFA Player of the Year for the 2017-18 season.
Salah who arrived at Anfield from Roma on a club record fee last summer, has notched 31 goals in 33 league appearances for Jurgen Klopp's men this campaign - equalling the Premier League goal record by a player for a single season.
The fleet-footed forward has won Liverpool Player of the Month award six times and also became the first person to be named Premier League Player of the Month on three occasions
The 25-year-old saw off competitions from Manchester City's trio of Kevin De Bruyne, Leroy Sane and David Silva, Tottenham's Harry Kane and Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea to become the first Liverpool player to claim the accolade since Luis Suarez in the 2013-14 campaign.
Meanwhile, the social media has been awash with praises for the Egyptian who becomes the second African footballer to win the award after Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez in the 2015-16 season.
