LONDON: Three Leicester players have been nominated by their peers for England’s player of the year award, after helping their team to the brink of the most unlikely Premier League title win in a generation. Jamie Vardy, N’Golo Kante, and Riyad Mahrez are on the Professional Footballers’ Association shortlist, alongside Tottenham striker Harry Kane, West Ham midfielder Dimitri Payet and Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil. Chelsea winger Eden Hazard won the award in 2015.
