Aaron Ramsey
Welsh wizard Gareth Bale picked up the PFA Player of the Year award last season for his wonderful performances for Tottenham Hotspur, and a Welshman may scoop the award this season for how well he has been playing for Arsenal, as Aaron Ramsey has flourished after the signing of Real Madrid’s Mesut Ozil. With 8 goals and 5 assists in the Premier League so far this season, the central midfielder has proven more potent in attack than a lot of the Premier League’s top strikers.
From being criticized by his own fans last year to being applauded by away fans, Aaron Ramsey has been unstoppable for the Gunners this season. If he maintains the momentum that he carries now in the second half of the season as well, there are few who can stop the Welsh man.
Daniel Sturridge
He may be facing a lengthy injury lay-off, but he has started the season in spectacular fashion, scoring 9 goals and assisting twice in 12 games to stay in the race with Sergio Aguero and Luis Suarez for the Premier League golden boot. Sturridge could be on the short list for the award should he fire Liverpool to Champions League football, though the main stumbling block between him and the player of the year award is a certain Uruguayan team mate of his.
