Kaka has been named as Player of the Year for 2007 by Croatian daily newspaper SN.

‘Sportske Novorski’ is the only Croatian daily newspaper and has been issuing this award for seven years.

Kaka, who succeeds 2006 winner Thierry Henry, was selected by an expert panel including former footballing greats such as Franco Baresi, Emilio Butragueno and Robert Prosinecki.

The Brazilian was handed the prize at Milanello by former Croatia star Zvonimir Boban, who played for the Rossoneri himself with distinction from 1992 to 2001.
