Manchester City’s play maker, Phil Foden has been named the Premier League’s Player of the Season, 2023/2024.
This is coming with the English Premier League ending tomorrow, Sunday 19.
Manchester City is currently on top of the table and stands a chance to win the league for four consecutives.
To get to this level of their performance, Foden has been a tremendous influence on the team.
Recall that earlier this month the England midfielder, 23, was voted the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year.
Foden has claimed a career-best 17 goals and eight assists in the Premier League this season.
Speaking after receiving the award, Foden said, “To win this award is an achievement that I am extremely proud of.”
“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.”
On Foden goal scoring prowess this season, only Erling Haaland (27) has scored more league goals for City,.
If Man City wins West Ham on Sunday they would have secured a record fourth straight English title. The first Club ever to achieve that in EPL.
“Overall, I’ve been very happy with the way I have played this season. And I am really pleased that I have been able to contribute with the goals and assists throughout the season,” Foden added.
He also thanked his Club. He said, “I’d like to thank all of the City staff, coaches and especially my team-mates. 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.”
