In a thrilling repeat performance, Bukayo Saka has once again claimed the title of England’s Player of the Year, proudly presented by EE. Saka’s electrifying displays for the Three Lions during the 2022/23 season have secured him this prestigious accolade, which is determined by the voice of the people.
During his debut at the FIFA World Cup last December, Saka left fans in awe by scoring three goals in just four games. His standout performance against Iran earned him the Player of the Match trophy.
However, the highlight of his international career came in June when he achieved his first-ever career hat-trick against North Macedonia.
On his 22nd birthday, Saka was bestowed with this honor, a fitting celebration as he spent the day at St. George’s Park, gearing up for England’s crucial Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine this Saturday.
Notably, he remains the sole representative from Arsenal to have received this distinction in the 19-year history of the award.
This remarkable achievement adds to Saka’s recent triumphs, as he was also named the PFA Young Player of the Year. The rising star is undeniably on a meteoric trajectory, capturing the hearts of fans and pundits alike.
Stay tuned for the announcement of the 2022-23 England Women’s Player of the Year connected by EE later this month.
Beth Mead was the reigning champion, having delivered an outstanding performance during the 2022 European Championships last year.
