Leicester City dominates Player of the Year nominees

Three members of the Foxes' title-challenging squad have been named among the candidates to be crowned the Premier League's best footballer in the 2015/16 campaign.

Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante have been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award thanks to their starring roles in Leicester City's remarkable Premier League title bid.

Leicester sits seven points clear at the top of the table with just five games to go, and the consistently outstanding trio of Vardy, Mahrez and Kante have been recognized by their peers with places on the six-man shortlist, which was announced on Wednesday.
