Top 5 PFA Player Of The Year Candidates Including Arsenal And Liverpool Stars

Share

As the Premier League season is now well underway, we have a good idea on who will be nominated for the top awards when April rolls around. Here are 5 possible candidates going by their current form, for the PFA awards this season.

Wayne Rooney

Manchester United may not like it, but as soon as he rejected their first offer of a new contract, Rooney has been playing the best football of his career. Often lazy. careless and unfilt in recent years, the England international isn’t having to cope with such problems this year. Finishing the Champions League group stage on 6 assists is an all-time high for the former Everton man and he has also scored 8 Premier League goals so far this season, more than Danny Welbeck, Chicharito and Robin van Persie combined.

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.

Sergio Aguero

Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero is currently playing the best football of his career under new boss Manuel Pellegrini, and is looking like a strong candidate for a place in next years Ballon d’Or shortlist. With 12 goals and 4 assists in 14 appearances, he is statistically the second most potent threat in England this season, but has arguably been the best player overall.

Luis Suarez

Currently the best player in the Premier League by a longshot, Luis Suarez has wowed the Anfield crowd with several outstanding displays, while individual brilliance has also been the reason for a lot of Liverpool victories this term. Now a serious option for Real Madrid, Liverpool must do all they can do keep him in Merseyside. Seemingly the only way he will not pick up the player of the year award is if he leaves in January and becomes ineligible.
