Liverpool forward Luis Suarez has been voted the 2014 Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers' Association.
The 27 year earned 52 per cent of the votes from more than 300 journalists.
The Uruguayan beat Steven Gerrard and Yaya Toure to the title.
Suarez was last week also named Player of the Year by the Professional Footballers' Association.
FWA chairman Andy Dunn, of the Sunday Mirror, said: "Those members who have been fortunate enough to be working at a match involving Luis Suarez have witnessed an astonishing talent first-hand.
"Tireless endeavour allied to extraordinary imagination makes an irresistible combination. Add ingenious, impudent finishing and you have a footballer who truly quickens the pulse.
"Luis is a remarkably gifted addition to the long and distinguished list of winners of our award."
