The 33-year-old, who broke Gerd Mueller’s record of 40 goals
in a Bundesliga season last term, also won in 2015 and 2020.
On Instagram, he wrote, “The sportsperson of the year award
means a lot to me because the choice is made by you —— the fans”.
A gala took place in Warsaw late on Saturday for the 87th
time.
Meanwhile, Liverpool academy goalkeeper, Liam Hughes, has
left the club to join Stalybridge Celtic on loan for the remainder of the
season.
Liverpool confirmed this in a statement via their website.
Hughes moved to Liverpool from Glasgow Celtic last January
and then signed a new contract with the club during the summer.
The 20-year-old has been part of the Reds’ U23s squad since
his arrival.
He has also twice been named on the senior team’s bench by Liverpool
manager, Jürgen Klopp.
