Leroy Sané was recognised for his exploits in Manchester City's Premier League title-winning season by being named the PFA Young Player of the Year.

He was an unused substitute as City thrashed Swansea 5-0 at home in their first outing since being confirmed as champions. And the former Schalke star is likely to play a prominent role for Joachim Löw's Germany as they seek to retain the World Cup in Russia.
Sané said: "I'm really honoured to win this award, thank you to my team-mates, the coaches, the fans, the whole of Man City. Also congrats to all the players who were [in contention with me] to win this award, because I think also they deserved it. They played a really good season for their clubs."
