The Premier League have announced the nominees for the Player of the Season award, which features players from Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle, according to Daily Mail.
Among the nominees is Cole Palmer, whose remarkable goal-scoring prowess with 21 goals has been instrumental in Chelsea's poor campaign.
However, Palmer faces formidable competition from a group of outstanding players vying for the prestigious award.
Erling Haaland, last season's recipient of the award, continues to show his dominance on the field.
Haaland's stellar performance in the previous season, where he emerged as the top scorer with an impressive 36 goals from 35 games, has been followed by another outstanding season with 25 goals to his credit so far.
Phil Foden, has also made it to the shortlist on the back of his exceptional contributions throughout the season.
Foden's creativity, goal-scoring abilities have been pivotal in Manchester City's quest for both individual and team honors.
Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk, Aston Villa's Watkins and Newcastle's Alexander Isak completes the list of nominees for the award.
