Leicester City forward Riyad Mahrez has claimed the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award.
Mahrez has scored 17 goals and made 11 assists in 34 league games to take Leicester to the verge of the EPL title.
The award was voted for by the Algeria international's fellow professionals.
Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli, 20, was named PFA Young Player of the Year, while Manchester City forward Izzy Christiansen won the Women's Player of the Year award.
Mahrez, 25, held off competition from Tottenham forward Harry Kane, Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil, West Ham United midfielder Dimitri Payet and fellow Leicester men Jamie Vardy and N'Golo Kante to win the award.
He was handed the prize at the Grosvenor Hotel in London on Sunday, hours after scoring in his side's 4-0 win over Swansea City as leaders Leicester moved to within five points of the title.
