Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is on the list of the nominees as well after winning the Premier League title on a dramatic final day of the season. He has already won the Premier League Young Player of the Year award and could add the PFA Young Player award to make it a double for him. Foden was in the City starting XI that came from two goals down to score three goals in five minutes to beat Aston Villa 3-2 at home to win the Premier League title in the process. Manchester City were able to make it four Premier League title wins in five seasons with the comeback victory over Villa.
