Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has won the 2021-22 Premier League young player of the year award.
The 21-year-old has scored nine goals and provided five assists this season, with City top of the league before the final day of the season on Sunday.
Foden is the first player to win the award in successive campaigns, having won it last season.
The England international received the most combined votes from the public and a Premier League panel.
He beat Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold, Crystal Palace's on-loan Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, Palace's Tyrick Mitchell, Chelsea's Mason Mount, Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka as well as West Ham's Declan Rice to the award for players aged 23 or under.
Foden can help City claim the Premier League title on Sunday - when they host Aston Villa - as his side go into the final round of fixtures one point ahead of rivals Liverpool, who are at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
