Tottenham Hotpur midfielder/defender/playmaker Gareth Bale walked away with the player of the year award but Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere won the young players award.
The votes for the award are for the players who has impressed their fellow professionals over the last calender year (Jan 1-Dec 31 2010) and in this time Wilshere started to make a name for himself on loan at Bolton Wanderers. The mifielder had already been touted as one to watch but Owen Coyle unearthed this gem of a player. In his 14 appearances for the Trotters Wilshere help propel Bolton up the table to safety ensuring another season of Premier League football at the Reebok but this season Wilshere has cemented his place not only in the Arsenal starting line-up but also one of the first names to appear on Fabio Capello's England team sheet.
Wilshere was nominated for his outstanding form but it was some achievement to walk away with the trophy considering who he was up against. The other nominees were:
Gareth Bale (Tottenham Hotspur), Seamus Coleman (Everton), Joe Hart (Manchester City), Javier Hernandez (Manchester United), Nani (Manchester United) and Samir Nasri (Arsenall)
