Vipotnik named in PFA team of the year
- Published
Swansea City striker Zan Vipotnik has been named in the Championship team of the season at the Professional Footballers' Association Awards.
Vipotnik was voted into the team by fellow players having finished as the 23-goal top scorer in the English second tier in 2025-26.
The Slovenia international was one of three forwards in the team alongside Coventry City's Haji Wright and Femi Azeez of Millwall.
Coventry's former Swansea goalkeeper Carl Rushworth was included alongside Sky Blues defenders Milan van Ewijk and Bobby Thomas, with Millwall's Tristan Crama and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, of Southampton, completing the back four.
Ex-Swansea captain Matt Grimes was voted into a midfield also featuring Coventry team-mate Jack Rudoni and Hayden Hackney, who left Middlesbrough for Everton last month.
Vipotnik has been the subject of continued transfer speculation this summer but remains at Swansea as the clock ticks down towards next Tuesday's transfer deadline.
The PFA Awards were held in Manchester on Tuesday, with Bruno Fernandes crowned men's player of the year and Manchester City forward Khadija Shaw taking the top women's award.
