He received the award at the Grosvenor Hotel in London on Sunday, saying “I’m very happy. One day I want to be the best and what I did this season is play very well, Chelsea played very well, I don’t know if I deserve to win but it is good for me. It is better to be voted by the players – they know everything about football.

Personally I have played a good season, I have been there in the big games and I scored a lot of important goals, this is why I’m better.”

Chelsea midfielder Ji So-Yun took the Women’s Player of the Year award.  Chelsea coach Emma Hayes said of Ji “She is one of the best midfielders in the world and our fans will love her.”
