The EA SPORTS Player of the Season award is given to the standout performer in a Premier League campaign.
It has been in existence since 1994/95, when Alan Shearer won the inaugural award.
Four players have won it a record two times. They are Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidic and Kevin De Bruyne. Ronaldo is the only player to claim it in back-to-back seasons.
The current holder is Manchester City's Phil Foden.
It is awarded to the player who receives the most combined votes from the public, the 20 club captains and a panel of football experts.
