The midfielder, who had been nominated in each of the past five years but had never won, beat off competition from Chelsea anchor man John Obi Mikel, on-loan Liverpool forward Victor Moses, Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Rennes winger Jonathan Pitroipa to win the award.
The former Barcelona man told BBC Sport: 'I think I've been nominated for five years in a row and finally winning the award is amazing. I'm very happy as it is the fans who have given it to me - so I'm very appreciative.'
