The English Professional Footballers’ Association announced the nominees for the Best Player in England 2024 on Tuesday. Members of the association selected a shortlist of six players for the award, which includes three players from Manchester City, alongside a player from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Aston Villa. Earlier this year, the award for the Best Player in the Premier League was given to Chelsea's Cole Palmer through a fan vote, which differs from this award chosen by the members of the players’ union.
The association's account posted on platform "X" the list of nominees, including Manchester City's trio: Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Rodri, along with their former teammate Cole Palmer who is currently at Chelsea, Martin Ødegaard from Arsenal, and Aston Villa's striker Ollie Watkins.
Manchester City continued its dominance in last season's competitions in England and successfully retained the Premier League title for the fourth consecutive season. The winner will be revealed at the Professional Footballers' Association awards ceremony on August 20 at the opera house in Manchester, England.
Regarding the nominees for the Best Young Player in England for 2024, the list includes six players: Manchester United's duo Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, former Crystal Palace player Michael Olise, Chelsea's Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro from Brighton, and Arsenal's star Bukayo Saka.
