Declan Rice won the Premier League Player of the Year prize at the 2024 London Football Awards

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.

Elsewhere on Thursday, Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou won the Manager of the Year award, while one of his summer signings, Vicario, was named Goalkeeper of the Year.

Charlton Athletic’s Alfie May picked up the EFL Player of the Year prize, while former West Ham, Spurs and QPR manager Harry Redknapp received an award for his Outstanding Contribution to London Football.

Finally, the Power of Football Award went to John Berylson, who died last year after more than one and a half decades as chairman of Millwall Football Club.
