Man City ace Haaland named PFA Players' Player of the Year

Manchester City's Erling Haaland has been honored for his accomplishments last season.

The Norway striker netted 52 goals in all competitions as his side won the treble.

Now Haaland has won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award at a gala.

Meanwhile, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka was named Young Player of the Year, which came as a surprise to many.

Haaland had also been up for the latter award, but does not appear to have been given both prizes.

"It's an honour to win this prestigious award," said Haaland.

"To be recognised by your competitors is a great feeling and I would like to thank everyone who voted for me.

"It was an unforgettable season for the team and for me personally. Winning the Treble was something I never imagined, so to achieve that with such a special group of players was an amazing feeling.

"We created some incredible memories last season, but now we want to do the same again this year. We have started the season well and we need to keep going."
