Manchester City and England star Phil Foden has been crowned the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year, picking up 42 per cent of the vote.
Foden, 23, has enjoyed his best season to date amid City's push for an astonishing fourth successive Premier League title, emerging Pep Guardiola's most important player with 24 goals and ten assists across all competitions with five games to go.
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice finished second in the vote behind Foden, while his Manchester City team-mate Rodri was third.
The England international is hoping to end his superb campaign with two domestic trophies, with City in control of the Premier League title race against Arsenal and favourites over rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final at the end of the month.
His team-mate Erling Haaland claimed the historic award last term after smashing the Premier League scoring record with 36 goals in his debut season at the Etihad, while Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah won FWA Footballer of the Year in 2021-22.
