"Being a rookie at a new club in the Premier League is never easy. So, if you said I would win this title at the beginning of the season, I would bite your hand off," Maddison joked after receiving the award. . "A lot of big names, top and current players have won this title, so it's great to be in that category. I'll leave this title on the mantelpiece!".
