Mohamed Salah wins PFA Player of the Year 2017-18

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has won the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award for 2017-18.

The Egyptian forward beat Kevin de Bruyne, Harry Kane, Leroy Sane, David Silva and David de Gea in the vote by his fellow players.

Salah, 25, said: "It's an honour and especially as it's voted by the players. I am happy and proud.

"I didn't have my chance at Chelsea. It was clear I would return and show everyone my football. I think I left and came back a different person, man and player."

Salah has scored 31 goals in 33 Premier League games for Liverpool and leads the race for the golden boot.

Manchester City's Sane won the young player prize, while Chelsea's Fran Kirby won the Women's Player of the Year award.

Bristol City's Lauren Hemp was named Women's Young Player of the Year.
