Wirtz won the award by a large margin last year when he helped Leverkusen win their first title in history. However, the margins were closer this season as Bayern dominated the German top-flight, with Olise impressing for Vincent Kompany's side alongside Kane. Despite finishing as the top scorer of the Bundesliga this season, Kane could only muster enough votes to come in fifth place. Olise, Marmoush and Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy all finished ahead of the Englishman.
