2024-25 Men’s PFA Player of the Year Nominations
In the race for the prestigious 2024-25 Men’s PFA Player of the Year award, a lineup of top talents has emerged, featuring prominent names such as Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes. This esteemed accolade, determined by votes from fellow players, will culminate in a celebratory ceremony scheduled for August 19 at the iconic Manchester Opera House.
Mohamed Salah’s Campaign
Salah, who is eyeing his third win of this honor after previously triumphing in the 2017-18 and 2021-22 seasons, is regarded as a front-runner. He has delivered an outstanding campaign, notching 29 goals and providing 18 assists.
His remarkable performance was instrumental in leading Liverpool to secure the Premier League title under manager Arne Slot.
Other Nominees
Moreover, Salah’s teammate, Alexis Mac Allister, also claims a spot on this six-player shortlist, commendably contributing to Liverpool’s successful season with 35 appearances.
On the other hand, Bruno Fernandes’ nomination stands out as he shone individually despite Manchester United’s inconsistent league performance. The Portuguese playmaker concluded the season with eight goals and ten assists, making history as the all-time leader for goal contributions in the UEFA Europa League while steering his team to the final.
Rising star Cole Palmer, who earned the Young Player of the Year accolade last season, has now been included in the main nominee list. The Chelsea player had a productive season, scoring 15 goals and assisting in facilitating the club’s qualification for next year’s Champions League.
Completing the nominee ensemble are Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and Arsenal’s Declan Rice. Isak is celebrated for his breakthrough year, scoring 23 league goals and playing a pivotal role in Newcastle clinching their first major trophy in over five decades with a goal in the League Cup final. Rice, meanwhile, enjoyed a personal best with nine goals and ten assists across 52 matches for Arsenal, further proving his worth in the league.
Conclusion
As the countdown to the award ceremony begins, the football world eagerly awaits to see who will be crowned the Player of the Year, reflecting the talent and competitive spirit displayed throughout the season.
