Many have expressed shock regarding how the fans and football experts had voted in this category with many raising points of players like Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins both having more contributions as compared to Phil Foden to also earn them the award of the Player of the 2023/2024 Season in the Premier League.

For others, the 23-year-old player who was also voted the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year, deserved to win the award based on his current run of form for Man City this season

Phil Foden deserves to be crowned the Premier League's Player of the 2023/2024 Season given his contribution which extends beyond goals and assists to his club side Man City.

Foden played a crucial role in Man City's campaign this season, carrying much of the workload in the absence of key players early on.

His game has shown new maturity, transitioning from relying on services from other players to creating opportunities for his teammates.

The 2023/2024 club football season gave a new look to Phil Foden's gameplay for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola.

The initial concerns about how the club would manage him when he broke out were averted. Despite having fewer games as a starter in previous seasons, his current form in the 2023/2024 season shows that those fewer games have paid off.

Phil Foden is slowly evolving into one of the best players the Premier League has ever seen, a new side to his game simply indicates that the England International as time continues will begin to take on a more active role of leading and facilitating the attack of Man City.

This would be a problem for other clubs as time passes because a combo of Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden leading City's attack is arguably a force to be reckoned with.
