Man City’s Foden Voted Premier League Player Of The Season
Manchester City’s Phil Foden was on Saturday announced as the Premier League’s Player of the Season.
The 23-year-old England midfielder had earlier this month clinched the Footballer of the Year award by the English Football Writers’ Association.
Foden who is eyeing another Premier League title has scored a career-best 17 Premier League goals so far this season.
City will secure a record fourth successive English title if they win at home to West Ham on Sunday.
“To win this award is an achievement that I am extremely proud of,” said Foden. “The Premier League is acknowledged as the greatest league in the world, and it is a pleasure to have been nominated with so many other great players who have all enjoyed special seasons for their clubs.
“Overall, I’ve been very happy with the way I have played this season and really pleased that I have been able to contribute with the goals and assists throughout the season,” Foden added.
“I’d like to thank all of the City staff, coaches and especially my teammates because without them this wouldn’t be possible. And I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who voted for me as the award means a lot.”
