It is the first time since the 2009-10 campaign that both men’s awards have gone to English players.
Manchester City midfielder, Phil Foden is the Professional Footballers’ Association men’s player of the year.
He won the award yesterday.
Also, Chelsea playmaker, Cole Palmer, was named young player of the year.
It is the first time since the 2009-10 campaign that both men’s awards have gone to English players.
Foden scored 19 goals in 35 top-flight appearances in 2023-24 as City won a historic fourth successive Premier League, and – aged 23 – he became the youngest player to have won six league titles.
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.
Palmer may have missed out on one award but he did not come away empty-handed.
The 22-year-old scored 22 goals in 34 Premier League appearances in his first season for Chelsea.
His form earned him a spot in the England squad for Euro 2024 and Palmer 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.
