Although the Premier League has started a new season, it has not yet finished with the previous one. At least when it comes to prizes. And for the best player.
Today, the Premier League announced the six candidates who are on the shortlist for the highest honor that the competition awards.
And the candidates are: Erling Haaland (Manchester City), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), John Stones (Manchester City), Martin Odegaard (Arsenal), Harry Kane (Tottenham) and Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester City).
It was expected that Manchester City had the most candidates for the team of the year, considering that the team was decorated with the championship cup.
There is also the Arsenal duo who finished second in the Premier League. It was Saka and Odegaard who were the most influential in the ranks of Mikaela Arteta’s team, which faltered at the finish of the championship.
Of course, Harry Kane is in the selection as one of the best strikers in the world even though he did nothing with Tottenham in the previous season. That eventually led him to Bayern Munich, with whom he has a much better chance of winning a trophy.
The favorite for MVP of the Premier League is Erling Haaland, who scored 38 goals last season, breaking all possible records.
