Alessia Russo has been named England's player of the year.
The Arsenal forward came first in the fan vote -- with Chelsea's Lucy Bronze and Hannah Hampton coming second and third, respectively.
Russo, who also won the award in 2024, has been a vital player for England over the past year. She has featured in all 10 of the Lionesses' matches and has scored five goals.
She has started every one of the Lionesses' 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying fixtures so far.
Most recently, she nabbed her 31st international goal after scoring in England's 3-1 victory over Greece in their World Cup playoff match.
"To receive the award is really special, particularly as it comes directly from the fans. I am so grateful for their support. A big thank you also to my teammates, it is always about the collective," Russo, 27, said.

"I absolutely love playing for England every moment I get. Together we're looking forward and hopefully we will go on to have a really big season."
Next, the Lionesses will face Greece again -- this time at Leicester's King Power Stadium on Oct. 13 in the second leg of their World Cup playoff.
