Presently, Manchester City top the league table, leading second-placed Arsenal with just two points heading into the final day.

Foden “extremely proud of” self to win the Player of the Season award

“To win this award is an achievement that I am extremely proud of,ā€ Foden told Man City’s official website.

ā€œThe 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.”

Foden has featured on the wings and in a more central role. He has played the second-most minutes of any Manchester City outfield player this campaign.

The England international superbly stepped up in the absence of injured Kevin De Bruyne as the Belgian playmaker has missed more than half of City’s matches this term.

Back in March, Guardiola described Foden as “the best player in the Premier League”. If City beat West Ham on final matchday, Foden will emerge the youngest player ever to claim six league titles.

It is the fifth successive season a Manchester City player has been named the EA SPORTS Player of the Season.

League top scorer Erling Haaland claimed it last season, while De Bruyne won it in the 2019/20 season. KDB also got the coveted award in 2021/22. Portuguese defender RĆŗben Dias was awarded Player of the Season in the 2020/21 campaign.

Foden wins the award ahead of seven other impressive players who were shortlisted. The list includes Haaland, Alexander Isak, Cole Palmer, Martin Odegaard, Ollie Watkins, Declan Rice, and Virgil van Dijk.
