Ruben Dias: Man City defender is Premier League player of the season

Manchester City defender Ruben Dias has been named Premier League player of the season.

He was named men's footballer of the year by the Football Writers' Association in May.

Dias, signed from Benfica for about £65m last September, made 32 league appearances for City over the season, playing a part in 15 clean sheets.

City won 23 of the league matches Dias played, as they also won the Carabao Cup and finished as runners-up in the Champions League.

The winner is decided by votes from the public on the EA Sports website, combined with those of the 20 Premier League club captains and a panel of football experts.
