These are the top 25 Premier League players – According to the Sky Sports reporters | OneFootball

Who are the top Premier League players as we move into this new 2025/26 season?

Sky Sports have assembled their list of the top 25.

That is based on asking 20 Sky Sports reporters and journalists.

They then asked to evaluate the new signings from abroad this summer and the best Premier League performers from last season.

All of those responses combining to give a final list of the best 25 Premier League players (in the opinion of Sky Sports employees).

Sky Sports report – 14 August 2025:

Sky Sports ranks the Premier League’s top 25 players ahead of 2025/26 season

Sky Sports football journalists and reporters have ranked the Premier League’s best players – but who made the top 25?

The superstars of the Premier League are ready to roll – but on the eve of the new season, who are the best players right here, right now?

That’s the question we put to over 20 Sky Sports football journalists and reporters, who weighed up the brilliant performers from last season and considered how new arrivals from abroad stacked up.

We asked them to rank a long list of Premier League talent and then took their average responses and honed it down to a top 25. So who came out on top?

25 – Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal

24 – Ryan Gravenberch, Liverpool

23 – Phil Foden, Man City

22 – Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea

21 – Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa

20 – Bryan Mbeumo, Man Utd

19 – Matheus Cunha, Man Utd

18 – Bruno Guimaraes, Newcastle

17 – Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool

16 – Eberechi Eze, Crystal Palace

15 – Martin Odegaard, Arsenal

14 – William Saliba, Arsenal

13 – Florian Wirtz, Liverpool

12 – Alisson, Liverpool

11 – Moises Caicedo

10 – Gabriel Magalhaes

9 – Bruno Fernandes

8 – Declan Rice

7 – Bukayo Saka

6 – Virgil van Dijk

5 – Alexander Isak

The transfer saga of the summer? Alexander Isak’s future at Newcastle is uncertain but his quality isn’t in doubt. There’s a reason why the Sweden striker is in demand after a brilliant campaign in black and white.

4 – Rodri

3 – Cole Palmer

2 – Erling Haaland

1 – Mo Salah

As you can see, two Newcastle United players make the list and little doubt they both belong there.

These kind of listings are always very subjective and never to be taken too seriously BUT I think pretty much every Newcastle United fan would think it is ridiculous that Sandro Tonali wouldn’t make anybody’s list of the 25 best Premier League players.
