Phil Foden of Manchester City has been honored with the prestigious title of Footballer of the Year by the English Football Writers’ Association.
Recognition of Excellence
Joining the ranks of football legends like Stanley Matthews, Bobby Charlton, George Best, and Kenny Dalglish, Foden's recognition underscores his exceptional talent and contribution to the sport.
Remarkable Season Performance
Throughout the season, Foden has showcased his prowess on the field, notably contributing 24 goals to Manchester City's campaign as they vie for both the Premier League and FA Cup titles under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola.
Continuing City's Legacy
Foden's achievement marks the third time in the past four years that a Manchester City player has claimed this esteemed individual accolade. He follows in the footsteps of Ruben Dias in 2021 and Erling Haaland in the preceding year.
Acknowledgment by Peers
Securing an impressive 42 percent of the votes, Foden emerged triumphant, surpassing competition from fellow contenders such as Arsenal’s Declan Rice and his teammate Rodri, who secured the third position in the ballot conducted among the FWA's nearly 900 members.
