Manchester City defender Nico O'Reilly has been named the Men's PFA Young Player of the Year, as voted for by his fellow top-flight stars. The 21-year-old enjoyed a stellar breakthrough campaign last season, making 51 appearances in all competitions and scoring nine times.
England call-up and World Cup bronze
His displays for City earned him a call-up to Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the World Cup during the summer, where he helped the Three Lions take home the bronze medal.
Shortlist and nominations
Fellow City star Rayan Cherki was also nominated for the award but was pipped to it by his teammate. Arsenal's Max Dowman, Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo, Bournemouth's Junior Kroup and Liverpool's Rio Ngumoha were also shortlisted.
