PFA Premier League Player of the Year: 20/1, 25/1 and 33/1 tips for 2023-24

Erling Haaland 9/4

Man City

There's not too much to say about Erling Haaland is there after his 36 league goals, three trophies and a hatful of scoring records in his first season - apart from he's just turned 23 so in theory at least should get even better!

He's got everything you need in a No.9 and he'll get a load more chances this season, but he's a pretty short favourite and you have to think it'll be tough for him to replicate last season's numbers.

Kevin De Bruyne 8/1

Man City

No player has won the PFA award more than twice but if anyone can it's Kevin De Bruyne - probably the best player in the league who topped the assist charts again last season with 16.

He'll have an extra pre-season getting to know about Haaland so those assist numbers could go up - and if he adds a few more goals this season then he'll again be the name on everyone's lips.

He could look a big price if he hits the ground running.

Harry Kane 11/1

Tottenham

Harry Kane probably deserves to have won this at some stage with his continued brilliant scoring returns - with another 30 league goals last season despite all the Tottenham turbulence.

That equalled his best league return and if he did it again with an improved Spurs team then he'd have a big shout - but it's exactly where he'll be playing his football next season that's the major doubt.

Mohamed Salah 12/1

Liverpool

Like Kane, Mohamed Salah shone in a dodgy Liverpool team last season with 19 goals and 12 assists - showcasing his underrated value in setting up goals.

The Africa Cup of Nations is on again but funnily enough Salah won this award the last time he played in that tournament - when Egypt got all the way to the final.

Should he surpass last season's tally this season, and Liverpool force their way back into a title challenge, the gong is only going to one Liverpool player, and that is Salah.

Bukayo Saka 14/1

Arsenal

Arsenal have a few players who could have a chance this season if they launch another big title bid or even better lift the trophy - led by Bukayo Saka.

He's kind of a Mo Salah light version in that wide right forward position, with Saka's 14 goals and 11 assists an impressive return but still below Salah's numbers.

Just two goals and one assist in his last 10 league games showed he faded down the stretch, but he'll only turn 22 in September so has plenty of improvement left in him.

Martin Odegaard 20/1

Arsenal

Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard was trading as second favourite last season when leading the Gunners on their title charge - with 15 goals and seven assists a cracking return for even an advanced midfielder.

The Norwegian looks like a decent leader despite being just 24 and crucially for this particular award he's now showed how good he is to his fellow pros around the league.

With Declan Rice coming in to ease any defensive duties Odegaard usually has - he may even be freer to go and create even more for Mikel Arteta's men.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 20/1

Liverpool

The price here reflects the possibility of Alexander-Arnold operating in midfield for at least some games - and if he does and can get in that advanced right-sided position he can show he's one of the best in the world in terms of ability on the ball.

He had two goals and nine assists in the league last season - with one goal and seven of those assists coming in the last 10 games after Klopp made the tactical switch.

A more permanent switch would do wonders - taking away those defensive duties that stifle his creativity and let him use his passing, crossing and shooting ability that only De Bruyne can match.

A full season of midfield Trent could be a revelation.

Marcus Rashford 20/1

Man Utd

We need a couple of Man Utd players in here in case Erik ten Hag can get them into the title race - and Rashford for a spell last season was the best player in the league.

The England forward was electric during the middle of the season when he scored 10 goals in 10 league games before he, like Saka, faded down the stretch.

From that base, his 17-goal return was probably a few light so a touch more consistency next season in a string United team and he'll be right up there in the thinking of the rest of the league.

Defenders certainly hate playing against someone with his pace.

Declan Rice 25/1

Arsenal

He should possibly be an even bigger price given the competition, but again in what is a vote among the players Declan Rice has plenty of admirers around the league.

And if he bolsters that Arsenal defensive line while also adding a few goals and assists going forward then everyone wll know the impact he's had.

He'd also take a lot of credit as the missing piece in the puzzle for Arteta should the Gunners go on to win the league - so he's not the worst 25/126.00 shot in the world.

Bruno Fernandes 33/1

Man Utd

I'm not sure he's captain material after witnessing some of his strops last season, but having the armband for Man Utd certainly gets you noticed.

Eight goals and eight assists in the league was way down on the 18 goals and 12 assists he bagged in his second season, but if he can get back to those numbers he's certainly grab some attentions

Ten Hag will do well to try and get the Portuguese the ball as often as possible, as there's no doubt he's got super ability in that No.10 role.
