Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has been named the 2023/24 Premier League Player of the Season. The prestigious award follows on from his FWA Men’s Footballer of the Year award. It caps off an outstanding season for the England international.
There is no doubt that this season has been the most consistent of Foden’s career. He had risen to arguably become Manchester City’s main man this season. In 51 appearances in all competitions, Foden has scored 25 goals and 11 assists. In the Premier League alone, he has scored 17 goals and added 8 assists.
Across this season, he has made several key contributions to help lift the champions to precious victories. His hat tricks against Aston Villa and Brentford were crucial in guiding City to precious victories. His brace in City’s 3-1 Manchester derby victory over arch rivals Manchester United were crucial in City overturning a 1-nil deficit at the Etihad Stadium in early March.
Phil Foden’s outstanding season has seen him become one of the best players in world football.
The form of Phil Foden this season has seen him become one of the best players in world football. He has starred for Manchester City across this season, and he has been a key reason why the world champions are within one win of a fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Earlier this season, the world champions needed someone to step up as Kevin De Bruyne missed 5 months with a hamstring injury, and Ilkay Gundogan departed the club for Barcelona last summer. It was Phil Foden who stepped up and took his game to another level. His talent was never in question, Foden just needed more responsibility to take the next step in his career. He has done just that this season. The FWA Men’s Footballer of the Year and Premier League Player of the Season awards show just how far Foden has come this season.
The sky is the limit for what Phil Foden could go on to achieve in his career. He is easily one of the best players in the Premier League, and it is clear he has become one of the best players in world football. Foden will be hoping to help guide Manchester City to more success tomorrow against West Ham and next weekend against Manchester United in the FA Cup final.
