Ten Premier League players have been nominated for the Best Fifa Men's Player 2016 award.

The 23-man shortlist includes Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante, who won the title with Leicester City.

Arsenal duo Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne, United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba and West Ham's Dimitri Payet are also named.

The prize will be announced on 9 January.

Fans will be given the chance to vote on the award after the world governing body's association with the Ballon d'Or ended earlier this year.
