Since moving to the Premier League in 2022, Haaland has been perhaps the best player in the league. He has won the last two Golden Boots and is on track to make it a three-peat this season.
Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have also been consistent in the last few years. So, who are the top 5 best players in the Premier League so far this season?
Top 5 best Premier Players in 2024/25
5. Gabriel Magalhaes - Arsenal
Gabriel and his sidekick William Saliba have been sensational this season. They have formed the backbone of Arsenal's solid defensive performances. The Gunners have conceded just six goals in seven matches, but only Liverpool have a better defensive record.
Gabriel has also been a dependable player in set pieces. This season, he has scored against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.
4. Bukayo Saka - Arsenal
Saka had the best season of his career in 2023/24, he registered 16 goals and nine assists. This season, he has two goals and seven assists, the best in the league. He has been ever-present in Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, and they will need him on top form to attempt to challenge for the league title.
3. Virgil van Dijk - Liverpool
He is arguably the best defender in the world right now. The Liverpool captain has done superbly well under new boss Arne Slot and has been rewarded with five clean sheets. The 33-year-old has been sensational this term, and that form has pushed Liverpool to the top of the league with six wins from seven matches.
2. Cole Palmer - Chelsea
Palmer is entering his second season in the Premier League and is the club's best player. He recently bagged a historic four-goals at Stamford Bridge against Brighton. That performance took his tally to six goals. Only Haaland has scored more goals than the England international.
1. Erling Haaland - Manchester City
The reigning Golden Boot winner has been unplayable this season. He has scored 10 league goals, including back-to-back hat-tricks. The Norwegian has scored a staggering 73 goals in 73 appearances in the Premier League and has barely played three seasons. Moreover, he also hit 100 goals for Man City in just 105 appearances, per Transfermarkt.
Palmer wins PFA Men's Young POTY
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Palmer was named the 2024 PFA Men's Young Player of the Year following a stellar campaign last season.
The 22-year-old succeeded England teammate and Arsenal star Bukayo Saka as the current holder of the prestigious award for the best youngster in England.
