Paul Hawksbee selected another Liverpool player, who proved to be the most popular choice among the presenters.
Hawksbee claimed his choice was “blindingly obvious”. His pick was Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian forward ended the campaign as the Golden Boot and the Playmaker of the Season winner, notching an impressive 29 goals and 18 assists.
Andy Townsend, Darren Bent, and Ally McCoist agreed on Salah's top-player status. Townsend highlighted Salah's consistent performance and incredible output, while McCoist praised the Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo, citing his crucial role at breaking up play for Chelsea.
Rounding out the list, Andy Goldstein made a divisive but expected pick, given his affinity for Manchester United. Goldstein chose Bruno Fernandes, acknowledging the Portuguese midfielder's role in dragging his team to the Europa League final.
In summary, talkSPORT's presenters hailed Liverpool's Mohamed Salah as their Player of the Season for the 2020-2021 Premier League campaign. Other notable mentions included Virgil van Dijk, Moises Caicedo, and Bruno Fernandes, who showcased impressive form throughout the season.
