There are some surprising names among the Premier League clubs’ Player of the Season award winners, with fans and players often split…
With the league season now in the rear-view mirror, fans are having their say over who should be singled out for their contribution this term.
Here is every club’s Player of the Year, as voted by their fans, with the Players’ Player also mentioned where available…
Arsenal – TBC
With Arsenal’s season only just over, they haven’t yet got around to singling out the best individual performer. Declan Rice got over half the vote last season. Same again? Vote below.
Aston Villa – TBC
Morgan Rogers was the Europa League Player of the Season so he has to be a decent bet for the Villa award, decided by a fans’ vote ending June 5.
Bournemouth – Alex Scott
Scott was named POTS by the Cherries fans but the players’ pick was Spurs-bound Marcos Senesi.
Brentford – Igor Thiago
After finishing second only to Erling Haaland in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot, the Brazil striker did the awards double, winning the fans’ and players’ Player of the Season.
Brighton – Ferdi Kadioglu
The Turkey full-back took home the Seagulls’ Player of the Season but Danny Welbeck won the vote among his team-mates.
Burnley – Zian Flemming
The Netherlands striker won the acclaim of the Burnley fans after scoring 11 goals in a miserable campaign for the Clarets, but Jaidon Anthony was handed the Players’ Player of the Season award.
Chelsea – Joao Pedro
The Brazil striker won more than 60 per cent of the vote among Chelsea fans who, to be fair, were hardly spoilt for choice.
Crystal Palace – Ismaila Sarr
After 21 goals in all competitions, it’s a fans’ and players’ award double for Sarr, who was also named Conference League Player of the Season.
Everton – James Garner
A double too for Garner: “I feel like I’ve come into my own this season, so I’m really happy to be recognised by the players and fans.”
Fulham – Harry Wilson
The Wales midfielder took the Cottagers’ gong with 35.6 per cent of the vote, ahead of Calvin Bassey (22.1 per cent) and Raul Jimenez (13 per cent).
Leeds United – Ethan Ampadu
The Leeds skipper won the fans’ and players’ awards, in the process becoming a two-time winner alongside Gordon McQueen, Lee Bowyer and Jermaine Beckford.
Liverpool – Dominik Szoboszlai
Perhaps the easiest winner to predict, Szoboszlai was one of the few Liverpool players to emerge from the season with their reputation enhanced. Despite being shunted around the team by Arne Slot, the Hungarian took more than two-thirds of the vote among Liverpool fans.
Manchester City – Nico O’Reilly
The England no.3 was named City’s youngest-ever POTS winner, beating off strong competition from Abdukodir Khusanov and Jeremy Doku.
Manchester United – Bruno Fernandes
As if it was going to be anyone else after a record-breaking year. A reminder: United were happy to sell Fernandes this time last year. That’s five awards in seven seasons for the skipper.

Newcastle United – Bruno Guimaraes
The Magpies skipper takes the award after scoring more Premier League goals than any team-mate while also topping the Toon assists chart.
Nottingham Forest – Neco Williams
Morgan Gibbs-White may have been shortlisted for Premier League Player of the Season but Williams took almost half the vote (48 per cent) in the Forest award.
Sunderland – Granit Xhaka
The Black Cats had plenty of worthy candidates this term but Xhaka was still the obvious pick as Sunderland’s stand-out. The signing of the season, surely.
Tottenham Hotspur – Archie Gray
Supporters love a willing sort and, in that respect, Gray stood out a mile to win all three fans’ awards up for grabs at Spurs.
West Ham – Dinos Mavropanos
The Greece defender took the Hammer of the Year award ahead of runner-up Mateus Fernandes and third-placed Jarrod Bowen.
Wolves – Santiago Bueno
The Uruguayan defender took 34 per cent of the fans’ vote, seeing him finish ahead of Joao Gomes, who won the Players’ Player award.
