His sensational form helped Liverpool to a top-four finish and ensured the Reds would be competing in next season’s Champions League. With his speed, skill, goal-scoring talent, Salah was a menace to defences all season. The Premier League Player of the Season award cemented his status as one of the league’s best players.

Virgil van Dijk (2018-19)

Playing as a centre-back at Liverpool, he was key for the title race and helped the side to 21 clean sheets while conceding only 22 goals. Van Dijk’s dominance, defensive abilities, aerial abilities, and captaincy skills were key for the team. Van Dijk was not dribbled past even once in the entire season. This award saw him become the first defender to win the accolade since Vincent Kompany in 2011-12. His performance during that season helped throw away any doubts there were about whether Van Dijk was one of the best defenders in the game.

His vision, passing accuracy, and ability to control the tempo of this game were crucial for his team after what was an average start. Apart from De Bruyne, only Thierry Henry, Nemanja Vidic, and Cristiano Ronaldo have won the award more than once. Such performances from De Bruyne have solidified his reputation as one of the world’s top midfielders.

Erling Haaland (2022-23)

Phil Foden was named Premier League Player of the Season following an excellent 2023-24 campaign. The Manchester City player scored 17 goals and assisted eight and was instrumental in helping Pep Guardiola’s side push for the title. Foden played much of the game through the centre, but his ability to shine in either position proved key at times in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne. He shone in a team full of stars as he inspired City to stay on top of the table with his performances. This Player of the Year award is Foden’s first and he will hope to win more such awards in the future.
