Arsenal's French striker Thierry Henry has been voted the Football Writers' Association player of the year, it was announced on Friday.
The award comes less than a week after he was voted English Professional Footballers' Association player of the year.
Henry, who joined Arsenal for 10.5 million pounds ($16.89 million) in 1999, has enjoyed a prolific season, banging in 36 goals for club and country, including two in France's 5-0 thrashing of Egypt on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old follows Arsenal and France team mate Robert Pires who won the FWA award last season.
He is the fifth player in six years to win both the FWA and PFA player of the year awards, after Teddy Sheringham (2001), Roy Keane (2000), David Ginola (1999) and another Arsenal player Dennis Bergkamp in 1998.
The former Monaco and Juventus player has scored 22 premier league goals this season, one behind Southampton's James Beattie who tops the premier league scoring chart with three matches remaining.
Three of Henry's strikes have been voted goal of the month -- against West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City -- making him the first player to achieve the feat three times in a season.
