The debate over who will be crowned this Premier League season's PFA Player of the Year has been fascinating.

Unlike in recent years, where either one obvious candidate emerges (Erling Haaland) or two titans go head-to-head (Kevin De Bruyne vs. Mohamed Salah), the 2023-24 campaign has produced at least six legitimate contenders for the award, which is voted for by the players.

The Football Writers' equivalent award (FWA) was bestowed upon Manchester City forward Phil Foden earlier this month, with Arsenal's Declan Rice finishing second and City's Rodri completing the top three.
