Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland, has won the PFA men’s players’ player of the year award, with Arsenal forward, Bukayo Saka, named young player of the year.
Haaland, 23, scored 52 goals in all competitions in his debut season with Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Norway forward beat team-mates Kevin de Bruyne and John Stones, Arsenal’s Saka and Martin Odegaard, and Tottenham’s Harry Kane, now at Bayern Munich.
City won the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League Treble last season.
Haaland joined City from Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth £51.2 million in June 2022.
He was also nominated for the young player prize, which was awarded to England winger Saka after he scored 14 goals and contributed 11 assists in his finest season for the Gunners.

Meanwhile, both winners of the individual prizes were also included in the PFA Team of the Year.

Speaking on the award, Haaland said: “It’s an honour to win this prestigious award. To be recognised by your competitors is a great feeling and I would like to thank everyone who voted for me.
“It was an unforgettable season for the team and for me personally. Winning the Treble was something I never imagined, so to achieve that with such a special group of players was an amazing feeling.
“We created some incredible memories last season, but now we want to do the same again this year. We have started the season well and we need to keep going.”
