We select a few contenders for the Premier League’s player of the season – and invite you to have your say
There aren’t many players ridiculous enough to mooch through their careers secure in the knowledge that any team in the world will take them any time they’re benevolent enough to deem them worthy. But Erling Haaland is one, a lab-created goalmonster sent from the future to destroy the present. Obviously there are the numbers – 36 goals, four hat-tricks – those alone tell us plenty.
Erling Haaland celebrates with Jack Grealish after City beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates in February.After a tricky introduction to “our league”, Martínez has made a mockery of it and the experts who thought they knew better than the bloke who’d managed him for three years. He hasn’t been perfect – who has? – but he has been consistently brilliant. Nemanja Vidic once said “I love defending,” and there was an element of wahey in how he hurled himself about.
Lisandro Martínez blocks off Michail Antonio during Manchester United’s 1-0 win against West Ham in October.When Martin Ødegaard first became known, he looked like the kind of kid who’s brilliant at keepy-uppy and five-a-side, but once it gets serious is easily knocked about by bigger opponents.
Rodri celebrates Manchester City’s 4-1 victory over Arsenal in April that gave them control of the title race.There’s not much on which football fans agree, but the elemental and essential loveliness of Bukayo Saka is one. But make no mistake, behind the chasmic smile and sage youthfulness lives an absolute killer.
