Japanese star takes top award
Japanese star Yasuhito Endo has been named Asian Player of the Year.
The 29-year-old midfielder took the honour ahead of Sayed Mohamed Adnan and Kengo Nakamura.
Ki Sung-yeung - who is joining Celtic in January - was named Young Player of the Year.
"This is a big honour for me," Endo said.
"I am very happy to win this year.
"I hope I can be a role model for young players everywhere and give hope to others in Asian football."
Since 2005, only Asian based players were considered for the award, as attendance became mandatory - meaning anyone from outside the region would not be able to make it.
