Salah and Russo shine at FWA awards ceremony in London

Mohamed Salah was stylishly dressed when he collected the football player of the Footballer of the Year Footballer of the Year during a ceremony in London.

In the event, which took place in the Landmark Hotel in Marylebone, Arsenal Assia Russo also saw to claim the Women's Footballer of the Year Award for 2024-25.

Salah wore a navy jacket with black lapels, a white shirt and a bow tie while he posed with the trophy while Russo was in a black dress.

It marks the third time he has been nominated for the prize, after he also won it in 2017-18 and 2021-22.

The winner is selected through a voice process among the members of the FWA, which consists of around 400 football journalists throughout England.

Salah, 32, played a crucial role in helping Liverpool Storm to the Premier League title in the first season of Arne Slot in Anfield.

With 2024-25, the Egyptian has 28 goals and 18 assists in 37 league matches so far, making him the overwhelming favorite for the Golden Boot.

The Talismian winger of Liverpool also took care of the club and his fans of a huge boost when he announced in April that he would sign a new two -year contract.

He put Pen on paper with a two -year contract worth £ 380,000 a week, which ended one of the largest contracts of the club in recent history.

If he had chosen not to sign a new deal, he would let the club leave for free at the end of the current campaign, a movement chosen by Trent Alexander-Arnold that seems to join Real Madrid.

The leadership of Salah followed club captain Virgil van Dijk, whose future was also uncertain before he announced a new deal less than a week after Salah confirmed that he would stay.

Salah spoke after confirming his new contract from Liverpool's Club after confirming his new contract: 'Of course I am very enthusiastic. We now have a great team. Before that we also had a great team.

'But I signed because I think we have the chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football.

“It's great, I've had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it will be 10. Enjoy my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career.

“I would like to say [the fans]I am very, very happy to be here. I signed here because I believe we can win many big trophies together.

“Keep supporting us and we give it our best, and hopefully we will win more trophies in the future.”

Russo, 26, finished bound with Khadija Shaw van Manchester City in the race for the WSL Golden Boot, while players yielded 12 goals.

While Chelsea still won a domestic Double after beating Manchester United 3-0 in the FA Cup final of the Women's FA Cup last weekend, Arsenal still has the chance to win a trophy.

They will go on Saturday evening in the final of the Women's Champions League in the Women's Champions League, because they want to secure the first European trophy of the club since 2007.
