Chelsea and Belgian midfielder Eden Hazard has been named as the English Football Writers' Player of the Year.

The award caps an excellent season for the striker who has already been named the PFA Player of the Year. He also won his first league title with Chelsea earlier this month.

He becomes the fourth player in a row to win the players award and the football writers award in the same season. Recent winners of both include Luis Suarez, Robin van Persie and Gareth Bale.

Tottenham's Harry Kane finished second with Chelsea captain John Terry coming in third place.

We're pleased to announce that @ChelseaFC's Eden Hazard is this year's FWA Footballer of the Year! Congratulations @hazardeden10 #cfc #epl
