Mo Salah Places Ninth in Footballer of the Year Award Rankings

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah came in a surprising ninth place in the rankings for the FWA Footballer of the Year award.

Erling Haaland was named the Football Writers' Association's player of the year amid his incredible debut season at Manchester City. He came in ahead of Bukayo Saka, who was one of three Arsenal players to make the top 15.

Despite scoring 19 times and setting up seven goals in the Premier League this season, Liverpool hero Salah was surprisingly low on the list, with last year's winner coming in behind Casemiro and above Kieran Trippier.

After Haaland and Saka, Martin Odegaard, Kevin De Bruyne and Marcus Rashford completed the top five in the rankings, with Harry Kane and Declan Rice coming in ahead of Manchester United's Casemiro.

Leicester midfielder James Maddison missed out on the top 10 but was ahead of Granit Xhaka, Rodri, John Stones and Brighton sensation Moises Caicedo.
