Phil Foden Named PFA Players’ Player Of The Year For 2023/24 Season

Manchester City forward, Phil Foden, has been named the PFA Players’ Player of the Year for the 2023/24 season.

The England international had an impressive season, scoring 19 goals and providing eight assists in 35 matches for Pep Guardiola’s title winners.

Foden was named the Premier League Player of the Season earlier this summer and has now added the PFA Players’ Player of the Year trophy to his ever-growing cabinet.

The Stockport-born midfielder has now added the PFA Player of the Year trophy to his collection, having previously won the Young Player award twice.

“To win this award is something very special and it is one that I am very proud of and grateful for,” Foden said. “To be recognized this way by your fellow professionals means everything, and I would like to thank everyone who voted for me.

“I also want to pay special thanks to Pep, the City coaches, and all my teammates as they help me to try and get better every single day.

“I’d also like to congratulate Kyle [Walker], Rodrigo, and Erling [Haaland] on being voted into the PFA Team of the Year, as it’s great to see their amazing quality recognized in such a way.

Manchester City director of Football Txiki Begiristain added, “Everyone here is so thrilled to see Phil win this award. To have your fellow professionals recognise you in such a way is very special.

“Phil embodies everything we stand for at Manchester City. He is a supremely talented player but is someone who always strives to seek to improve.

“He is a very humble guy who is hugely popular throughout the Club. We are all very proud of him.”

“Last season was another very special one for everyone at the Club but now all our focus is concentrated on trying to achieve more success this term.”
