Mohamed Salah, Bukayo Saka and Kevin De Bruyne are among five nominees for the EA Sports Premier League Player of the Season award for 2021/22.

The nominees for the award were unveiled on premierleague.com on Friday.

Others also shortlisted are West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen, Heung-Min Son of Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, Southampton skipper James Ward-Prowse and Manchester City’s Joao Cancelo.

At just 20 years old, Saka has led the charge for an Arsenal team chasing a top-four finish for the first time since 2015/16.

Saka has 11 goals, six assists and has shown great character to bounce back after suffering penalty-shootout heartbreak in last summer’s UEFA European Championship final.

Salah, the 2017/18 EA SPORTS Player of the Season, is in contention again after yet another stunning campaign.
