Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has been named the Premier League's Young Player of the Season for the second year running.

Foden, who won the award in 2020/21, has already matched his return of the previous campaign, registering nine goals and five assists while growing in importance for the team under manager Pep Guardiola.

Still only 21, Foden missed the opening month of the campaign with a foot injury but he returned to underline his huge potential to beat off competition from Chelsea's Mason Mount and West Ham's Declan Rice.

Guardiola spoke earlier this month about how there was no reason why his playmaker couldn't continue improving in the coming years.

"For Phil, responsibility is not a problem. Since day one going to bigger stages, bigger scenarios and important games, it's not a problem (for him). He loves to play.

"He can play in all five positions up front: winger on both sides, striker through the middle and in the pockets like an attacking midfielder.

"I think in time he will be more capable to play in positions in the middle, he still has all the actions, the high speed, so maybe now the wide positions suit him better.

"In the Academy when I started to see him at 16/17-years-old when I arrived here, he played in a position like Kevin De Bruyne and wow, he played really good but all the actions are so, so quick.

"You remember David Silva, sometimes he slowed the rhythm to increase the rhythm, (but Phil's) rhythm is always high.

"It's good as he is so aggressive and we need it but sometimes he needs a little bit, but that is a question of time. He can do it no problem, it's just a question of time."

Damnnn niggar


Overrated dumb fucckkk player

When Rashford is there.

Ahead of TAA how come?

Consolation for failing to win the league and champions league. Liverpool is going to win both.

And Mount?

This boy, Phil Foden is truly a sensational player. But i see painful tears and anguish@the Etihad tomorrow. I also see wailings and despair@Carrow road. Supporters of Shitty and Spursy, pls take heart in advance.

It should have been Saka.

It's Saka for me Sha the guy stunned me this season

Congratulations Foden.
The uprising that follows these awards in recent times though.

Even under Young Player of The Year, one person still type long note on top CR7. This obsession don turn to disease.

The only reason he won the award over Saka, is because he plays champion league football. Saka was more deserving tho!

.

Congrats to him

Story. England a very bias country, Phil is a good player no doubt but the likes of TAA, Mason M, even Saka of arsenal stats surpasses what he Phil accomplished this season

Pep's favourite. Congrats bro.

Well deserved

Well deserved, let him sign the mega contract.. qhat a player he's become

wat ferdinand said was right, cr7 deserved to be nominated over at least 2 players in dat list, not about age.

Ahead of Mason Mount, TAA, and (maybe) Saka? Nahhhh
