Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice won the Premier League Player of the Year prize at the 2024 London Football Awards on Thursday night.
Rice won the award after topping a vote ahead of fellow nominees Guglielmo Vicario, Jarrod Bowen, Pedro Porro and William Saliba.
The independent judging panel comprised of representatives from football administration, football media and former players, including Carlton Cole and Bobby Zamora.
Rice's award was recognition for his fine form over the past 12 months, both for Arsenal and former club West Ham United.
The 25-year-old has scored four goals and provided five assists in 26 EPL games since joining the Gunners in July.
He captained West Ham to glory in the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.
Rice has now won the Premier League Player of the Year gong at the London Football Awards twice, having also been honored in 2022.
Chelsea forward Lauren James won the 2024 WSL Player of the Year award.
The 22-year-old's win came 12 months after she was named Women's Young Player of the Year at the 2023 London Football Awards.
James has scored 12 goals in 13 Women's Super League appearances this season, after providing three goals and three assists in five games for England at last year's FIFA Women's World Cup.
Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer won the award for the Men's Young Player of the Year.
The 21-year-old has been Chelsea's star man since joining from Manchester City in August.
He has scored more goals, 10, and provided more assists, six, in the Premier League this season than any of his teammates.
Another Chelsea star, Aggie Beever-Jones, won the Women's Young Player of the Year prize.
The 20-year-old forward pipped Arsenal's Kyra Cooney-Cross and Tottenham's Grace Clinton to the award.
Beever-Jones has scored five goals in 10 WSL games so far this season.
