Manchester City’s Phil Foden has been named the 2023/24 EA SPORTS Player of the Season, capping off a remarkable campaign for the 23-year-old midfielder. Foden’s stellar performances have been instrumental in City’s quest for a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title, with the team currently sitting just two points ahead of Arsenal heading into the final day of the season.
Having scored 17 goals and provided 8 assists in 34 Premier League appearances, Foden has directly contributed to 25 goals this season. His versatility on the field, playing both centrally and on the wing, has been crucial for City, especially in the absence of injured playmaker Kevin De Bruyne.
Foden expressed his pride in winning the award, acknowledging the competition from other top players in the league. City manager Pep Guardiola has hailed Foden as the best player in the Premier League, highlighting his impact on the team’s success.
If City secure a win against West Ham United on the final day, Foden will become the youngest player ever to win six Premier League titles. This marks the fifth consecutive season that a Manchester City player has been named the EA SPORTS Player of the Season, with Foden following in the footsteps of previous winners like Haaland, De Bruyne, and Ruben Dias.
Foden’s achievement is a testament to his exceptional talent and hard work, earning recognition from both the public and football experts. As he continues to shine on the pitch, Foden’s future looks bright, with high expectations for his contributions to both Manchester City and the England national team.
