Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has been voted the Premier League's best ever foreign defender.

BBC Sport surveyed over 500,000 people to name the best foreign players to play in the Premier League - choosing their shortlist from players who had been named in a PFA Team of the Year.

And while Kompany only received 2% of the vote, that was more than any other defender, as the City man beat Nemanja Vidic and Jaap Stam to the accolade.

Discussing the result, BBC Pundit Alan Shearer said: "He played in midfield when he first arrived and has been a fantastic player for Manchester City.

"He won three titles and has made 260 appearances but it would have been so many more but for his injury struggles."
