Manchester City defender Ruben Dias has been voted the Football Writers’ Association’s Footballer of the Year. Portugal international Dias, 24, was a comfortable winner ahead of Tottenham forward Harry Kane and his City team-mate Kevin De Bruyne. Dias has enjoyed an outstanding first campaign at the Etihad Stadium since a club record £64.3million transfer from Benfica last September. After accepting the award, Dias paid tribute to all his colleagues at the club. Obviously I could not have done it without the success of the team,” Dias said in an interview with the FWA.
