Bukayo Saka with the award


Arsenal's Bukayo Saka has been named England's Player of the Year for the second year in a row. 

Saka's outstanding performances for the Three Lions over the course of the 2022-23 season earned him the coveted award, voted for by the public.

Saka notched three goals in four games during the World Cup last December, picking up a Player of the Match trophy for his display against Iran, and grabbed his first career treble against North Macedonia in June. 

The Gunners attacker was presented with the award on his 22nd birthday, which he spent at St. George's Park ahead of England's Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine on Saturday.

He remains the only Gunner to receive the honour since the award's inception 19 years ago. The award caps off a winning week for Saka, who was recently crowned the PFA Young Player of the Year. 

The 2022-23 England Women’s Player of the Year will be revealed later this month.

Beth Mead was last year's winner following a superb 2022 European Championships.
