The Professional Footballers’ Association have confirmed the Premier League Team of the Season for 2016.

Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City boast the largest contingent of players, with four players each. Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham United each have one representative.

The top-flight’s leading goalscorer Harry Kane included for the second consecutive year and is partnered by Jamie Vardy, whose goals have taken the Foxes to the brink of a remarkable title win.

David De Gea, Manchester United’s goalkeeper, also appears for the second successive season, while Dimitri Payet, a summer signing for West Ham, makes the cut after his first season in English football.

The professional footballers’ trade union were forced to announce this season’s Team of the Year early after a leak on social media.

The Team of the Year is normally revealed on the day of the trade union’s award ceremony, which is scheduled to be held on Sunday.
