Suarez Named Writers’ Player of the Year

Luis Suarez has picked up his second personal accolade in the space of a week, as the Uruguayan becomes the first non-European to win both the PFA and Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year award. The former Ajax captain has scored 30 goals in 35 games for Liverpool, the first Liverpool player to score so many in one Premier League season.

Brendan Rodgers congratulated his star forward by saying:

“He has been outstanding in all my time here and obviously, in particular, this season.

“So it was very well deserved and I know he really respected it, coming from the players in this country. I know he’s happy.

“To know that he’s happy is important, like it is with all of our players.

“It’s very important that we have players here that are content, happy and focused on Liverpool.”

Liverpool face Crystal Palace this evening at Selhurst Park, knowing that anything other than a win may effectively hand Manchester City the league title. The Reds will be looking towards their front two of Suarez and Sturridge to see them through a tough visit against Tony Pulis’ Eagles.
