Top 10 best Premier League players of 2025/26

1. Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) : Fernandes is arguably the best player in the Premier League 2025/26, and there's virtually no debate about that. Despite often playing deeper under Ruben Amorim, the MU captain broke the assist record in a single season with 21 assists. Not only that, Bruno also scored 9 goals and created 136 chances. He was the driving force behind MU's return to the top 3.

2. Declan Rice (Arsenal): Rice had a career-defining season and was a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or. The English midfielder dominated midfield with his all-around tackling, passing, and attacking support. Rice created 63 chances, among the best in the league, and was a leader in Arsenal's championship-winning campaign.

3. Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal): Gabriel has become a symbol of Arsenal's impenetrable defense this season. The Brazilian center-back has contributed significantly to the London team's 17 clean sheets, and has also made a difference in set-piece situations with 3 crucial goals. Gabriel's consistency has helped Arsenal maintain their strength throughout the season.

4. Erling Haaland (Manchester City): Haaland remains the most fearsome goal-scoring machine in the league. Despite a slump mid-season, the Norwegian striker finished with 27 goals and 8 assists, winning the Golden Boot for the third time in the last four seasons.

5. David Raya (Arsenal): Raya continued to demonstrate his class by winning the Premier League Golden Glove for the third consecutive season. The Spanish goalkeeper kept 19 clean sheets, playing a crucial role in Arsenal's championship run. Many of Raya's decisive saves directly earned points for the "Gunners".

6. Igor Thiago (Brentford): Brentford were predicted to be relegated after the departures of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, but Thiago turned everything around. The Brazilian striker scored 22 goals, second only to Haaland in the Golden Boot race, helping Brentford finish in the top half of the table and close to securing a European spot.

7. Rayan Cherki (Manchester City): Cherki brought a rare flair to the Premier League. The Frenchman scored 4 goals and provided 12 assists in his first season in England. Despite initial doubts about his attitude, Cherki proved he was fully capable of shining at the highest level and is expected to become a central figure for Man City in the post-Pep Guardiola era.

8. Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth/Manchester City): Semenyo had a breakout start to the season with Bournemouth before joining Man City in January. Despite moving to a more demanding environment, the Ghanaian striker maintained consistent form with 17 goals, ranking third in the top scorer list. He also made his mark with a superb finish that helped Man City win the FA Cup.

9. Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City): From an unknown young talent in the Man City academy, Nico O'Reilly suddenly rose to become the Young Player of the Season. This versatile defender scored 5 goals, provided 3 assists, and quickly became a key player in Guardiola's system. His all-around attacking and defensive abilities have led to O'Reilly being seen as the future of the England national team.

10. Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest): Gibbs-White was the heart and soul of Forest's successful fight against relegation. The English midfielder exploded in the final stages, scoring 9 goals in 10 games, finishing the season with 15 goals. Forest kept Gibbs-White despite interest from Tottenham, and that decision proved to be a turning point in saving the club from relegation.
