Sane has been a key part of City’s incredible title-winning campaign under Pep Guardiola.

And the 22-year-old deserves every inch of his accolade after scoring nine goals and assisting a further 12 for team-mates.

Other players in the running for the award included Tottenham’s Harry Kane, Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon and City duo Ederson and Raheem Sterling.

Sane’s brilliant form should also see him figure as an important player for Germany at this summer’s World Cup in Russia.
