Premier League Young Player of the Season: Phil Foden wins award for second year in a row

Phil Foden has been named the Premier League Young Player of the Season.

The Manchester City forward has won the award for the second season in a row and beat seven others, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, after he received the most combined votes from the public and a Premier League panel.

"I am very proud to have won this award for a second season in a row. There are so many talented young players in the Premier League and it is a real honour to win it again," said Foden.

The 21-year-old has scored nine goals and assisted five more in 27 league appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side this season despite coming off the back of a taxing summer with England at the delayed Euro 2020.

City can clinch a fourth league title in five years with a win against Aston Villa on Sunday.
