Premier League Reveals 2024/25 Player, Manager Nominees Including Salah, Rice, Wood

The Premier League has announced the shortlist for the 2024/25 Player of the Season award, featuring eight nominees from five clubs, with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Ryan Gravenberch leading the list. Arsenal's sole representative is Declan Rice, who has been praised by former players and pundits as one of the club's standout performers this season. Nottingham Forest have two nominees, striker Chris Wood and midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, both recognized for their key roles in the club's strong campaign and European qualification bid. Other nominees include Newcastle United's Alexander Isak and Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, both of whom have attracted significant transfer interest due to their impressive goal contributions. Notably absent from the nominations is Manchester City's Erling Haaland, reflecting the club's disappointing season after dominating for years. The winner will be decided by a combination of public voting and an expert panel, with the announcement scheduled before the season's final game.
