Eight Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City players are named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year, but there is no place for Arsenal's Mesut Ozil.

Premier League pacesetters Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur have eight players between them in the PFA Team of the Year for 2015-16.

Both teams have four men each in the star-studded side, including leading goalscorers Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane who are named up top.

Riyad Mahrez, N'Golo Kante and Wes Morgan complete the Foxes' inclusion, while Dele Alli, Danny Rose and Tony Alderweireld get the nod from Tottenham's title-chasing contingent.

There is no place in the PFA team for Mesut Ozil, however, who is the only nominee for the division's Player of the Year Award to miss out on the side, with Dimitri Payet of West Ham United being selected on the left.

Elsewhere, Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin is included at right-back, and Manchester United stopper David de Gea is selected between the sticks to complete the list.
