De Bruyne named Premier League player of the season

Manchester City midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne has been named Premier League Player of the Season for the 2019/20 campaign.
The Belgian playmaker beat off competition from three Liverpool stars, Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Southampton attacker, Danny Ings, Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope and Leicester’s Golden Boot winner Jamie Vardy were also in the running for the award but De Bryune claimed the gong eventually.
De Bruyne racked up 20 assists – equalling the league record set by Thierry Henry in 2003 – and also netted 13 times to help City finish as the division’s highest scorers for the third successive season.
Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold was named Young Player of the Season, while his manager Jurgen Klopp won the award for Premier League Manager of the Season.

Klopp held off competition from Frank Lampard, Chris Wilder and Brendan Rodgers to win the award.
