Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has been voted the Professional Footballers’ Association, PFA men’s player of the year while Chelsea winger Cole Palmer energed young player of the year.
It is the first time since the 2009/2010 season that both men’s awards have gone to English players.
Wayne Rooney and James Milner won the player and young player of the year prizes that season.
Foden scored 19 goals in 35 top-flight appearances in the 2023/2024 season as Nan City won a historic fourth consecutive Premier League.
At 23, he became the youngest player to have won six league titles.
This is the first time the playmaker has been voted the PFA’s player of the year, having twice been selected as the best young player.
He also won the 2023/2024 Premier League player of the season award and was named the Football Writers’ Association footballer of the year.
Foden beat his City team-mates Erling Haaland, who won the award last year, and Rodri, as well as Chelsea’s Palmer, Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins who were on the shortlist.
22 year-old Palmer was the clear favourite for the young player of the year award after scoring 22 goals in 34 Premier League appearances in his first season at Chelsea.
His form earned him a spot in the England squad for Euro 2024 where he scored in the final which the Three Lions lost 2-1 to Spain.
The Blues forward beat Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, Manchester United duo Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, former Crystal Palace player Michael Olise and Brighton’s Joao Pedro to the young player prize.
