Salah looked stylish on the red carpet in a dark suit and he stopped for an embrace with Arsenal and England Women’s star Russo, who is up for the Women’s PFA Player of the Year.

The striker was crowned European champion and club and international level this year, and proved a popular figure on the red carpet.

She was joined on a star-studded carpet by the best players the Premier League and WSL has to offer.

Five other players were nominated for the Women’s PFA Player of the Year – Mariona Caldentey, Erin Cuthbert, Mary Fowler, Yui Hasegawa and Phallon Tullis-Joyce.
