Jenas can land top award says Speed

Newcastle midfielder Gary Speed is tipping team-mate Jermaine Jenas to carry off the PFA’s senior Player of the Year Award one day after seeing him honoured by his fellow professionals.

The 20-year-old beat off competition from Wayne Rooney and Newcastle colleague Craig Bellamy among others to claim the Young Player Award in London on Sunday night, but Speed is convinced he can go even further.
