Fifa Awards: Harry Kane, One of Four Premier League Players Nominated

Harry Kane is one of four current Premier
League players nominated for the Best Fifa
Men’s Player 2017 award. The Tottenham
striker joins Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez
and Chelsea midfielders Eden Hazard and
N’Golo Kante on a shortlist of 24. Last year’s
winner, Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, is
nominated, as are Lionel Messi of Barcelona
and Paris St-Germain’s world record signing
Neymar.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a Manchester United
player last term, also makes the list. The
winners will be decided by a jury of club and
international coaches, media
representatives and fans. Voting closes on 7
September and the winners will be
announced at an awards ceremony in
London on 23 October.

Fifa, football’s world governing body, is
running its awards for the second year since
ending its association with France Football’s
Ballon d’Or in September 2016.
