Salah Named Fans' Footballer of Year for 2020

Mohamed Salah has been voted  Fans' Footballer of the Year after defeating six Premier League rivals in a closely-contested vote.

The Egyptian forward produced yet another world-class season as Liverpool cruised to the Premier League title by a margin of 18 points last summer.

Salah scored 19 goals and provided 10 assists last campaign, and arguably produced the iconic moment of the Reds' season as his stunning solo effort secured victory over Manchester United in January.

The 28-year-old wheeled away in celebration, tearing off his shirt and standing proudly in front of the Kop, which couldn't help but burst into: "And now you're gonna believe us, we're gonna win the league."

Salah has also started the current season in scintillating form with 13 goals in as many top-flight games, including a remarkable two goals and assist off the bench against Crystal Palace at the weekend.

He has taken on talismanic status at Anfield and helped Liverpool claim a four-point lead at the top of the table this term; Salah may well be the man who fires the Reds to back-to-back league titles.

Salah fended off six rivals to clinch the inaugural Fans' Footballer of the Year award, with Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish finishing second in the voting.
