Foden has been instrumental in City’s bid to
retain the Premier League title, scoring nine goals and producing five assists.
The 21-year-old has matched his goal and
assist totals from last season and could surpass them in City’s vital Premier
League title decider against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola’s side are one point clear of
second placed Liverpool and will be guaranteed to win a fourth English title in
five seasons if they beat Villa at the Etihad Stadium.
Liverpool would win the title if they defeat
Wolves and City drop points.
“I’m very proud to have won this award for a
second season in a row,” Foden told City’s website.
“There are so many talented young players in
the Premier League this season and it’s a real honor to win it again.
“I have been really happy with my
performances this season and it has been great to contribute to this team in
what will hopefully be another successful year for us all.”
In an award voted on by fans, Foden finished ahead of
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, Chelsea’s Mason Mount, West Ham’s Declan
Rice, Arsenal duo Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka and Crystal Palace pair Conor
Gallagher and Tyrick Mitchell.
