Phil Foden, the Manchester City forward, has added another prestigious award to his collection by clinching the 2024 Professional Football Association (PFA) Player’s Player of the Year. This accomplishment comes just three months after being honored with the FWA Footballer of the Year award for his stellar performances during Manchester City’s fourth consecutive Premier League triumph. Foden, 24, now stands as the fourth City player in the last five years to secure the prestigious Player of the Year title, following in the footsteps of Kevin De Bruyne (2020, 2021) and Erling Haaland (2023).
The esteemed award was presented to Foden at the PFA’s Awards dinner held in Manchester. The England international, who previously scooped the PFA Young Player of the Year award in both 2021 and 2022, was humbled to receive the Player’s Player of the Year trophy from his peers in the footballing world. This recognition further solidifies Foden’s status as one of the top talents in the sport today.
Foden’s on-field contributions were pivotal to Manchester City’s success, playing a key role in their triumph throughout the season. His skill, vision, and scoring ability have set him apart as a standout performer, both domestically and internationally. The forward’s exceptional form has not gone unnoticed by his fellow professionals, as evidenced by his consecutive Player of the Year accolades.
Aside from Foden’s impressive win, Khadija Shaw of the Manchester City women’s team secured the Women’s Player’s Player of the Year title. Shaw’s remarkable goal-scoring prowess saw her dominate the Women’s Super League charts, making her a deserving recipient of the award. Additionally, Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s forward, was crowned with the PFA Young Player of the Year award for his remarkable debut season with the club, culminating in a call-up to the England squad and a standout performance in the Euro 2024 Final. Grace Clinton of the Manchester United women’s team was also recognized as the Women’s Young Player of the Year for her outstanding contributions during her loan spell at Tottenham.
Phil Foden’s back-to-back Player of the Year awards serve as a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication to the sport. As he continues to showcase his skills on the field, there is no doubt that Foden will remain a key figure in the world of football for years to come.
