The local boy with more league assists this season than all except Kevin De Bruyne must be in the running for the PFA awardIn its 46 years, the PFA’s Player of the Year award has been given to 41 people, representing 15 clubs and 12 countries from
England to Egypt. The winners have been young and old, tall and short, but they all have one thing in common: none of them have been full-backs. There is a lot of football still to be played this season but already it seems there is no doubt about the destiny of the title, and though there are several
Liverpool players who will be in the discussion when the individual awards are handed out, I think based on the campaign so far Trent Alexander-Arnold is edging it.
