Belgian Kevin de Bruyne, Manchester City midfielder, was chosen for the second consecutive time as the Premier Player of the Year by the Professional Footballers Association (PFA).
Joining De Bruyne were nominated Harry Kane (Tottenham) and his teammates Bruno Fernandes, Ilkay Gundogan, Ruben Dias and Phil Foden, who won the best youngster award.
The Belgian was already the winner of this award last season and is the first to repeat since the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo achieved it in the 2006/07 and 2007/08 campaigns when he was a member of Manchester United.
“You always want to win all competitions as a team. It is more important than an individual award, but being chosen by your rivals, by players with whom you compete every year says a lot,” said De Bruyne, key in the league title of the City and that in the Champions League final he could not finish the game after suffering a broken nose and left eye socket when he collided with the German Antonio Rudiger.
The best player of the year was named Fran Kirby of Chelsea for the second time. He already achieved it in 2018, which equals Lucy Bronze.
