Voting for who will appear on the cover of FIFA 17 has now ended, with Marco Reus coming out on top.

Reus was able to overtake other contenders Anthony Martial, James Rodriguez, and Eden Hazard for the coveted spot, after more than 3.1 million votes were submitted to EA for the competition.

“I’m very honored to join a very distinguished group of footballers to appear on the cover of FIFA,” Reus said in a statement. “Most of all, I am humbled that the fans have chosen me, and I will strive to make them proud with my performance on the pitch.”
