Manchester City’s Phil Foden has been honored with the prestigious title of Premier League’s Player of the Season. This accolade comes on the heels of Foden being voted the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year earlier this month.
Record-Breaking Season
The England midfielder has had a standout season, achieving a personal best with 17 goals and 8 assists in the Premier League, even before City’s final game on Sunday. Reflecting on his achievement, Foden expressed his pride:
“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.”
Team Contributions and Personal Gratitude
Foden’s performance has been instrumental for Manchester City, where only Erling Haaland, with 27 league goals, has scored more than him. City is on the brink of securing a record fourth consecutive English title with a win at home against West Ham on Sunday.
“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.
In his statement, Phil Foden extended his gratitude to the Manchester City staff, coaches, and his teammates, acknowledging their role in his successful season:
“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.”
Looking Forward
As Phil Foden basks in the glory of his individual awards, his focus remains on helping Manchester City secure their place in history with another league title. His remarkable season has not only highlighted his individual brilliance but also underscored the collective strength and talent within the Manchester City squad.
