Tadic will receive his award at a gala next week, the Serbian football association (FSS) said on Friday.

The 28-year old has been a driving force in Serbia's 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign, scoring three goals and setting up five in two wins and two draws to lift his country to second spot in Group D behind leaders Ireland.

Tadic also won praise from Serbian media after playing with a fractured nose for more than an hour in last month's 1-1 draw at Wales. He underwent surgery after the clash.
