Manchester City's Phil Foden and Bunny Shaw named PFA Players of the Year


Phil Foden has completed a double of individual awards by being named the Professional Football Association (PFA) Player of the Year for 2024, three months after winning the FWA Footballer of the Year award following Manchester City's fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Foden, 24, has become the fourth City player in five years to be voted Player of the Year by his fellow professionals, after Kevin De Bruyne (2020, 2021) and Erling Haaland (2023) won the award in recent years.

The England striker, who previously won the PFA Young Player of the Year award in 2021 and 2022, was presented with the PFA Player of the Year trophy at the PFA Awards Dinner in Manchester on Tuesday.

Manchester City Women's forward Khadija Shaw has claimed the WSL Women's Player of the Year title after topping the WSL scoring charts with 21 goals last season, eight goals ahead of closest rivals Lauren James and Elisabeth Terland.

Like Foden, Jamaica international Shaw also won the FWA (Football Writers' Association) Female Footballer of the Year award at the end of the 2023-24 season.

Chelsea striker Cole Palmer has been announced as the winner of the PFA Young Player of the Year award after scoring 27 goals and registering 15 assists in all competitions in his first season at Stamford Bridge following a £40 million (US$52 million) transfer from City last August.

The 22-year-old also broke into the England squad last season and ended the campaign by scoring in the Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain in Berlin in July.

Manchester United Women's midfielder Grace Clinton has been named Young Player of the Year following a successful loan spell at Tottenham last season.
