Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was named the Premier League’s Player of the season on Saturday, with his team-mate Phil Foden taking the Young Player prize for a second successive year.<\/p>\n

De Bruyne has notched a career-best 15 league goals and 13 assists to secure the fans’ award for the second time after also winning it in 2019-20.<\/p>\n

The Belgian finished above City team-mate Joao Cancelo, Liverpool duo Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah, West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse and Tottenham’s Son Heung-min.<\/p>\n

“To win this award for a second time is an achievement that I’m really proud of,” De Bruyne said.<\/p>\n

“There is so much quality in the Premier League and it is a pleasure to be nominated with so many other great players who have had incredible seasons for their clubs.”<\/p>\n

De Bruyne is the fourth player to win the award twice after Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nemanja Vidic.<\/p>\n

Foden has been instrumental in City’s bid to retain the Premier League title, scoring nine goals and producing five assists.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old has matched his goal and assist totals from last season and could surpass them in City’s Premier League title decider against Aston Villa on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola’s side are one point clear of second placed Liverpool and will be guaranteed to win a fourth English title in five seasons if they beat Villa at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n

Liverpool would win the title if they defeat Wolves and City drop points.<\/p>\n

“I’m very proud to have won this award for a second season in a row,” Foden said.<\/p>\n

“There are so many talented young players in the Premier League this season and it’s a real honour to win it again.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Foden finished ahead of Alexander-Arnold, Chelsea’s Mason Mount, West Ham’s Declan Rice, Arsenal duo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale and Crystal Palace pair Conor Gallagher and Tyrick Mitchell.<\/p>\n
