[May 21, 2022] (Reuters)
- Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden
has been named Premier League Young Player of the Season for the
second year in a row, the league announced on Saturday.
Foden beat seven others to the award, including Trent
Alexander-Arnold, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, after he received the
most combined votes from the public and a Premier League panel.
"I am very proud to have won this award for a second season in a
row. There are so many talented young players in the Premier League
and it is a real honour to win it again," said Foden.
The 21-year-old has scored nine goals and assisted five more in 27
league appearances for Pep Guardiola's side this season. City can
clinch a fourth league title in five years with a win against Aston
Villa on Sunday.
