The Egyptian came out on top for 2023-24 in a poll on Liverpoolfc.com – ahead of Virgil van Dijk and Alexis Mac Allister, who finished second and third respectively – to claim the accolade for the fourth time in his seven years at Anfield so far.
Salah was the Reds’ top scorer in the campaign with 25 goals in all competitions and his tally of 13 assists was the joint-most within the squad alongside Darwin Nunez
