Robin van Persie has been named the PFA Player of the Year... [View all]
Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has been named the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year.
Van Persie took the honour ahead of Manchester City trio Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Joe Hart, Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
Holland international van Persie, 28, has scored 27 Premier League goals this season for the Gunners - his most fruitful campaign for the club - and was humbled to be recognised by his peers.
"It is very special because you are playing against them week in week out and every single player does everything to win and in the end if they make up their minds that I'm the best player it is a big honour."
