Mohamed Salah has become the first player to win a third Professional Footballers\u2019 Association Men\u2019s Player of the Year award after a dominant 2024\/25 campaign. The 33-year-old Egypt international scored 29 goals and provided 18 assists as Arne Slot’s Reds claimed last season’s Premier League title. The PFA honour follows Salah’s record-equalling third Football Writers\u2019 Association Footballer of the Year award earlier in the year.<\/p>\n
On the women’s side, Mariona Caldentey was named PFA Women’s Player of the Year. Caldentey, 29, moved to Arsenal last summer and finished with 19 goals in all competitions, including eight during Arsenal’s Champions League run that ended with victory over her former club Barcelona.<\/p>\n
Olivia Smith, who recently joined Arsenal in a world-record deal after a standout season at Liverpool, was named PFA Women’s Young Player of the Year.<\/p>\n
Morgan Rogers claimed the PFA Men’s Young Player of the Year award following a breakthrough season for the Aston Villa attacking midfielder that included an England breakthrough.<\/p>\n
The 2024\/25 PFA Premier League Team of the Year features Liverpool representatives Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister alongside Salah. Milos Kerkez, who moved to Anfield from Bournemouth in the summer, also made the XI. Arsenal supplied three players to the team: William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Declan Rice.<\/p>\n
Matz Sels and Chris Wood were recognised for their campaigns at Nottingham Forest. Alexander Isak was included for his excellent form at Newcastle. Cole Palmer and Bruno Fernandes were shortlisted for the Player of the Year award but missed out on the final XI.<\/p>\n
The PFA Women’s Super League Team of the Year includes Chelsea’s Erin Cuthbert and Millie Bright. The side also contains Mariona Caldentey, Alessia Russo, Emily Fox and Kim Little, Manchester City pair Yui Hasegawa and Mary Fowler, and the Manchester United trio Phallon Tullis-Joyce, Maya Le Tissier and Jayde Riviere.<\/p>\n
In the EFL awards, James Trafford, now of Manchester City, became the first goalkeeper to be named Championship Player of the Year after Burnley’s promotion campaign. Richard Kone, who scored 21 goals for Wycombe in his first full professional season and has signed for QPR, was named League One Player of the Year. Bromley striker Michael Cheek won the League Two Player of the Year after scoring 25 league goals in the promoted side’s season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
