Three Arsenal stars up for Premier League player of the season as Bruno Fernandes targets second win | OneFootball

Manchester City pair make the cut, along with Thiago and Morgan Gibbs-White

Three Arsenal stars are up for the Premier League player of the season award, with Bruno Fernandes providing fierce competition.

Raya and Gabriel have been part of an Arsenal defence that has kept 18 clean sheets in 36 league games, while Rice has grown into Arsenal’s most influential player.

Manchester United’s sole representative is their captain, Fernandes, who was last week named player of the season by the Football Writers’ Association (FWA).

Fernandes has 19 league assists, guiding Man Utd back to the Champions League for the first time since 2023.

Among the other contenders are Premier League top goalscorer Erling Haaland and Brentford striker Igor Thiago, whose 22 goals have the Bees in contention for European qualification.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has also been nominated for the second year running after steering Vitor Pereira’s side to Premier League safety, as well as the Europa League semi-final.
