Arsenal lead the way with nine nominations at this year’s London Football Awards.

Declan Rice and Jurriën Timber are nominated for the Premier League Player of the Year award, alongside Brentford striker Igor Thiago, Fulham midfielder Harry Wilson and Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo.

Mikel Arteta is up for Manager of the Year, but faces stiff competition from Bromley boss Andy Woodman, Millwall manager Alex Neil, Brentford’s Keith Andrews, and Spurs Women head coach Martin Ho.

There is a Goalkeeper of the Year nomination for David Raya, who is up against Bernd Leno, Caoimhín Kelleher, Grant Smith and Lize Kop.

Crystal Palace and England midfielder Adam Wharton is nominated for the Young Player of the Year, alongside Chelsea’s Estêvão, Brentford defender Michael Kayode, Fulham’s Josh King, and West Ham’s Oliver Scarles.

In the Women’s Super League, Arsenal again lead the way with three nominations for WSL Player of the Year, as Alessia Russo, Emily Fox, and Kim Little MBE are all recognised. They are joined on the shortlist by Chelsea midfielder Keira Walsh and Tottenham Hotspur’s Olivia Holdt.

The London Football Awards 2026 will take place on Thursday 5 March at Exhibition White City in aid of charity partner Willow Foundation.

Willow was founded by former Arsenal goalkeeper and TV presenter Bob Wilson and his wife Megs following the death of their daughter Anna from cancer at the age of 31. To date, the charity has provided more than 23,500 special days to young adults across the UK.
