Declan Rice’s brilliant form during the 2024/25 campaign has seen him nominated for the Premier League’s Player of the Season award - and your votes can help him win!
His second year in north London has seen him put in some outstanding performances in the heart of our midfield, scoring three times and laying on another seven assists in 33 outings so far.
Declan's first league goal of the campaign came in December at Crystal Palace in a game where he also registered two assists, while he scored in sensational style at Old Trafford in March. His other league strike came earlier this month against Brentford.
In all competitions, he has surpassed last season’s tally of seven thanks to his four goals in the Champions League - including two unforgettable free-kicks against Real Madrid - and a League Cup strike against Bolton Wanderers.
As well as his goal involvements, the England international has established himself as one of the Premier League's best box-to-box midfielders, winning 112 duels and making 52 tackles, as well as creating 56 chances - only three fewer than our leader in this category, Martin Odegaard.
Declan is up against seven other players for the award, including Mohamed Salah, Ryan Gravenberch and Virgil van Dijk from champions Liverpool, and Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood from this campaign’s surprise package, Nottingham Forest.
Newcastle United’s hotshot Alexander Isak is also a contender, as is Bryan Mbuemo of Brentford, whose goals have pushed them into contention for a European berth.
Voting is open until midday on Monday, May 19 - so get your votes in for Declan now!
