A Premier League title-winning campaign with Manchester City saw Leroy Sane recognised as the PFA Young Player of the Year.

Leroy Sane was recognised for his exploits in Manchester City’s Premier League title-winning season by being named the PFA Young Player of the Year.

The 22-year-old Germany international has been a key member of a successful City side during Pep Guardiola’s second campaign in charge, scoring nine goals and supplying 12 assists for team-mates in the league.

He was an unused substitute as City thrashed Swansea 5-0 at home in their first outing since being confirmed as champions.

And the former Schalke star is likely to play a prominent role for Joachim Low’s Germany as they seek to retain the World Cup in Russia.

Sane said: ‘I’m really honoured to win this award, thank you to my team-mates, the coaches, the fans, the whole of Man City.’

‘Also congrats to all the players who were [in contention with me] to win this award, because I think also they deserved it. They played a really good season for their clubs.’
