Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has been named as the England Men's Player of the Year for the second season in a row. Jude Bellingham came second in the vote.

Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has been named as the England Men's Player of the Year for the second season in a row.

Saka scored three of England's 13 goals at the 2022 FIFA World Cup before ending the 2022/23 campaign by netting a hat-trick in a 7-0 win over North Macedonia in a Euro 2024 qualifier.

The 22-year-old also impressed at club level last season as he provided 14 goals and 11 assists in 38 Premier League appearances for the Gunners.

Saka is the fourth man to win England's Player of the Year prize in consecutive seasons - after Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard.

Kane finished third in the vote for the 2022/23 award, behind Jude Bellingham in second.

"Back to back, what an honour," Saka tweeted on Wednesday morning.

"Thank you to everybody who voted me England's Men's Player of the year. I'm very grateful".

Saka will likely make his 29th senior appearance for the Three Lions on Saturday when Gareth Southgate's team take on Ukraine in Poland.
