JAKARTA - Manchester City's attacking midfielder Phil Foden has been named the 2021-22 Premier League Young Player of the Year, the league's official website announced on Saturday.
Foden retains the award for players aged 23 or younger which he also won last season, becoming the first player to win it two seasons in a row.
The award was won by Foden after getting the most votes from a fan poll and a special panel of Premier League selection.
In the final nominees for the award, Foden eliminated names such as Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Gallagher (Crystal Palace), Tyrick Mitchell (Crystal Palace), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), Declan Rice (West Ham United). ), and Bukayo Saka (Arsenal).
So far, the 21-year-old has contributed nine goals and five assists for City in 27 Premier League appearances.
Moreover, in the ranks of City's luxurious midfielders, Foden is trusted by Pep Guardiola to get playing minutes that only lose more than Rodri Hernandez, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne.
Phil Foden is just one step away from solidifying his achievements this season, with Manchester City looking to seal the Premier League title in the final match against Aston Villa at the Etihad on Sunday (22/5) tomorrow.
