As players take a short break waiting for the tournaments that will take place this summer to kick off, we’ve decided to bring you all Premier League award winners for the 2023/24 season. Without further ado, let’s get started.
Premier League Winners – Manchester City
Manchester City made history during the 2023/24 season by becoming the first club to win the English Premier League title four times in a row. It seemed as if the Cytizens were out of the race for the Premier League crown towards the end of this year but recovered after playing their games on hand to catch up with Liverpool and Arsenal on top of the table.
Even though Arsenal led the way for the majority of this year, City took the top spot after beating Tottenham Hotspur with one game left to play. They would then secure a hard-fought win over West Ham to be crowned champions on the final day of the season.
Arsenal have finished runner-up for two consecutive seasons and have truly emerged as a powerhouse in English football under Mikel Arteta. They are one of the clubs to watch next season.

He continued to impress and scored crucial goals even after the return of those two.
Foden managed 19 Premier League goals and was presented with his award when City were win away from being crowned Champions. In the final match of the season, he gave his side the momentum by scoring the opener inside two minutes against West Ham. He then added another 16 minutes later as City secured a 3-1.

Playmaker Of The Season – Ollie Watkins
Aston Villa were one of the best clubs during the 2023/24 season. Unai Emery really transformed the club and it isn’t surprising to see one of the players appear on Premier League award winners list.
