Foden won 42 per cent of members votes and is the third Man City player in four years to win the men’s Footballer of the Year award after Ruben Dias in 2021 and Erling Haaland in 2023.
He finished ahead of Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice and Man City team-mate Rodri in second and third respectively. Martin Odegaard, Ollie Watkins and Cole Palmer made up the top six.Share
