The Great Debate: Who should win Premier League Player of the Season? 🏆 | OneFootball

The Premier League season is nearing its thrilling climax, with three clubs still in contention for the title.

And we have reached that time of the year when votes are cast for the Player of the Season award.

Last year’s winner Erling Haaland is unlikely to be the prime candidate again this year, so who should the gong go to?

Our writers have their say. Let us know in the comments who YOU think should win it.

Adam Booker

Phil Foden has seemingly finally moved out from the shadows of the great Manchester City players like Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, cementing himself as one of Pep Guardiola’s chief creators this season.

With his hat-trick on Wednesday taking him to 21 goal contributions from 30 games so far, the England international is a clear candidate for Premier League Player of the Season.

Dan Burke

It’s hard to look past Declan Rice for the sheer transformative effect he’s had on Arsenal this season. He hasn’t single-handedly made them a tougher nut to crack, but his drive and energy in midfield has helped them at both ends of the pitch, and I think he’s the main reason they have both the most goals and the best defensive record in the league at the time of writing.

Richard Buxton

Tempting as it is to look at those involved in the title race, Cole Palmer remains the genuine shining light in Chelsea’s dismal season. Had the former Manchester City prospect not broken out of his comfort zone last summer, Mauricio Pochettino’s side would be facing a greater threat than midtable mediocrity. His 16 goals have helped keep the ‘Pride of London’ firmly out of trouble.

Alex Mott

The bedrock of Arsenal’s title charge this season has been their defence with the Gunners – at time of writing – conceding a league-leading 24 goals.

And no player has been more vital to that paltry tally that William Saliba. The 23-year-old has played virtually every minute of the season for Mikel Arteta’s side so far and barely put a foot wrong.

If the north London side are to win a first title in two decades, Saliba will be high on the list of reasons why.

Pádraig Whelan

If Liverpool do win the league, and they are ever so slightly in pole position to do so, then arguably the biggest single reason for doing so will be the return to elite form of skipper Virgil van Dijk.

It has been all the more impressive when you consider the doubts surrounding him following a serious knee injury.

The Dutchman has firmly reclaimed his status as the best centre-back in the game.
