Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Man Utd goalkeeper Andre Onana are both nominated
The nominees for the Supporters' Footballer of the Year award have been revealed, with a quarter of the shortlist made up of Manchester City stars.
Rodri, who became the first City player to win the Ballon d'Or in October, was on the list alongside teammate Phil Foden, while WSL goal machine Khadija Shaw was also recognized for an exceptional year.
Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk were also nominated, with both stars impressing despite uncertainty over their futures at Anfield. Salah is hoping to win the award for the third time in five years after racking up 38 goals so far in 2024.
Arsenal are the only other club to have multiple nominees, with Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka being recognized, while Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana and Chelsea superstar Cole Palmer are also on the shortlist.
Last year, Newcastle United full-back Kieran Tripper won the top award after beating competition from Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland. It was the second year in a row that a Magpies man won the crown, with Bruno Guimaraes taking it in 2022.
And the 2024 edition could complete a hat-trick of wins for the St James' Park side after Anthony Gordon was named among 12 nominees. The former Everton winger enjoyed his best year yet, helping Newcastle to a seventh-place finish in the Premier League and establishing himself as England's starting left-winger under interim boss Lee Carsley.
Gordon's international team-mate Ollie Watkins is also included after leading Aston Villa to the Champions League earlier this year, while Bellingham – the only contender not to play their football in England – completes the set.
The Supporters' Footballer of the Year award takes place in two parts, with the national award for 12 players being awarded concurrently with 20 club-specific votes to determine the best performing player for each Premier League club from 2024. The Winner of both awards is decided exclusively by the fans, which is why your vote is so important.
