Kevin De Bruyne has won the 2021/22 Premier League Player of the Season award.
The Belgian superstar has been the focal point of a Manchester City team that looks set to win their fourth Premier League title in five years.
He’s scored 15 goals – a career high – and contributed seven assists as Pep Guardiola’s men have continued to assert their dominance over England.
De Bruyne last scooped the Premier League Player of the Season award back in 2020 after an outstanding individual campaign saw him grab 20 goals and provide a record-equalling 20 assists.
Ruben Dias took home last season’s award, meaning a City player has been awarded the prize for a third straight year.
Phil Foden was announced as the winner of this season’s Premier League Young Player of the Season award earlier on Saturday.
Golden Boot contenders Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min were also on the eight-man shortlist for the Player of the Year award, which included Joao Cancelo, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarrod Bowen, Bukayo Saka and James Ward-Prowse.
