September’s nominations for Manager and Player of the Month have been revealed by the Premier League.

Premier League Player of the Month shortlist- September 2024

Erling Haaland is a clear contender having scored seven goals in just three games. With a goal against Chelsea and hat-tricks against West Ham United and Ipswich Town, the Norwegian has had the best goalscoring start to a league season ever.

Even though Bryan Mbeumo’s comeback of three goals in as many games is not as outrageous as it once was, it is still amazing. Substituting for Brentford in the absence of Ivan Toney, Mbeumo scored once against Crystal Palace and then again against Southampton.

fresh signee With Aston Villa, Amadou Onana has had an instant impact. His goals spurred Villa to victories over West Ham and Leicester City, continuing their excellent run from the previous campaign.

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer only made two appearances in August (he provided an assist against Crystal Palace on September 1), but his stats are still impressive. In a 6-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, he was the main man, scoring a beautiful lob and assisting on all three of Noni Madueke’s goals.

Arsenal is the only team this month with two candidates. With two shutouts and two incredible saves to deny Ollie Watkins and Jorgen Strand Larsen, Gunners goalkeeper David Raya gets the nod, and Bukayo Saka’s one goal and three assists put him on the shortlist.

Mohamed Salah has had a fantastic start to the season. In the first two games under Arne Slot, Liverpool’s talisman scored twice and provided an assist, contributing to his team’s flawless start to the season.

Danny Welbeck, a forward for Brighton, completes the shortlist. The Seagulls’ unblemished start to the season was capped off by a magnificent performance against Everton and a pivotal goal against old employers Manchester United.
