Leicester City playmaker Riyad Mahrez has been named the Professional Footballers Association’s Player of the Year.
The Algerian becomes the first African to win the award after a remarkable season in which he has propelled the Foxes to the verge of the English Premier League title.
He netted 16 goals and created a host of chances for the likes of Jamie Vardy, who was also nominated.
Young Player of the Year went to Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli, who beat the likes of teammate Harry Kane and Liverpool’s Phillipe Coutinho to the award.
Allie has also been named in the PFA Team of the Year, alongside Leicester’s unsung hero N’Golo Kante. West Ham United’s Dimitri Payet and Mahrez complete a four-man midfield, with Kane and Vardy up-front.
The back-four consists of Danny Rose, Wes Morgan, Toby Alderweireld and Hector Bellerin, with Manchester United’s David de Gea in goals.
