The PFA player of the year nominations have been announced.

This is of course for the 2023/24 season and the six who are up for the award are:

Palmer (Chelsea), Foden, Haaland Rodri (all Man City), Watkins (Villa) and Odegaard (Arsenal).

Newcastle United have actually had two previous PFA player of the year winners: Les Ferdinand (1995/96) and Alan Shearer (1996/97).

Hopefully NUFC will end up with a few contenders of the 2024/25 season…

BBC Sport report – 13 August 2024:

‘Manchester City’s Erling Haaland is in contention to win the PFA player of the year award for a second successive year.

Haaland has been named on the six-player shortlist for the men’s category after scoring 27 goals last season to finish as the Premier League’s top scorer.

Haaland is joined on the men’s shortlist by team-mates Phil Foden and Rodri, while Chelsea striker Cole Palmer, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard and Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins are also included.

The award winners will be announced on Tuesday, 20 August.’
