Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has congratulated Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah on winning the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award, as quoted in The Manchester Evening News.
Liverpool star Salah has been voted as the FWA Footballer of the Year, as reported by The Times.
The 29-year-old Egypt international forward has scored 22 goals and given 13 assists in 29 Premier League starts for the Reds so far this season.
Salah has also scored eight goals and given one assist in 10 Champions League starts for Liverpool so far this campaign.

Title race
In our opinion, Salah will be a big player in the Premier League title race between Liverpool and Manchester City this season.
City are a point clear of second-placed Liverpool at the top of the league table at the moment.
Salah is a goal machine, and if he is able to continue to bang in the goals for fun in the final weeks of the campaign, then Liverpool could well overtake City to the finish line.
In our view, Salah is a world-class player, and given that he is still only 29, we think that he will be at the top of his game for a few more years.
