Manchester City's Ruben Dias has won the prestigious Football Writers' Association Player of the Year award.
Centre-back Dias has enjoyed a fine debut season at City following his move from Benfica last summer, becoming an integral figure in Pep Guardiola's title-winning team. He becomes the first defender to win the award since Liverpool's Steve Nicol in 1989.
