Mohamed Salah has been named African Player Of The Year for the second year in a row.

The 26-year-old is coming off the back of a record breaking season, scoring the most goals in a Premier League season with 31, appearing in a Champions League final as well as representing Egypt in the World Cup, scoring two goals.

The Egyptian has shown no signs of slowing down this season either, scoring 13 goals and providing seven assists so far.

Salah beat off competition from Liverpool team mate Sadio Mane as well as Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to scoop the award.

When accepting his award, Salah thanked his family, his fans and supporters before dedicating the award to his country.
