Tottenham's Harry Kane is one of four players to make
the shortlist for both the Professional Footballers'
Association Player and Young Player of the Year prize.
Manchester United keeper David De Gea, Chelsea forward Eden
Hazard and Liverpool attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho could
also win both awards.
Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez and Chelsea's Diego Costa complete the
senior list.
Manchester City's Lucy Bronze, winner in 2014, is on the women's
shortlist.
It is the first time four players have been nominated for both the
Player and Young Player awards.
Hazard makes the senior shortlist for the third successive year,
having previously lost out to Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez.
Bale's triumph in 2013 meant he emulated Andy Gray in 1977 and
2007 winner Cristiano Ronaldo by winning both prizes.
De Gea is aiming to become the first goalkeeper to win the award
since Peter Shilton in 1977.
Liverpool's Raheem Sterling and Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut
Courtois have been nominated for the Young Player prize.
Chelsea Ladies are the only Women's Super League side to have
two players nominated in Eniola Aluko and South Korea
international Ji So-yun. Birmingham's Karen Carney, Arsenal's
Kelly Smith and Notts County's Jess Clarke are also named.
Leah Williamson, who kept her nerve in unique circumstances to
score the penalty that sent England into the European Under-19
Championship, is included in a five-person shortlist for the Young
Player award.
No-one from WSL champions Liverpool has been nominated.
