Salah Leads PFA Award Shortlist After Historic Season

Mohamed Salah leads the shortlist for the PFA Men’s Player of the Year award after scoring 29 goals and providing 18 assists to help Liverpool win the Premier League. Salah, who already won the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year by a record margin, aims to become the first three-time winner of the PFA award. The six-man shortlist includes Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister, Arsenal’s Declan Rice, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, and Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes. Isak played a key role in helping Newcastle end a 56-year trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup. Cole Palmer, last season’s Young Player of the Year, is nominated after an impressive campaign for Chelsea. The award ceremony will take place in Manchester on August 19.
