Saturday, 21 May 2022 – Manchester City star, Phil Foden has been named Premier League Young Player of the Year award for the second season in a row.

‘There are so many talented young players in the Premier League this season and it is a real honour to win it again.

‘I have been really happy with my performances this season and it has been great to contribute to this team in what will hopefully be another successful year for us all.

‘To be nominated alongside so many great players is an honour as they have all had great seasons for their clubs.

‘I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to my development this season.’
