Sky Sports ranks the Premier League’s top 25 players ahead of 2025/26 season

The superstars of the Premier League are ready to roll – but on the eve of the new season, who are the best players here, now?

That is the question we ask more than 20 Sky Sports Football journalists and reporters, who weighed the brilliant artists of last season and considered how newcomers from abroad were stacked.

We asked them to rank a long list of Premier League talent and then recorded their average answers and tightened it to a top 25. So who came at the top?

Read on to see our top 25 Premier League players – and then share the debate in our live blog, where we want you to mention and debate your favorite football players and discuss our selections!

25 – Viktor Gyokees, Arsenal

24 – Ryan Gravenberch, Liverpool

23 – Phil Foden, Man City

22 – Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea

21 – Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa

20 – Bryan Mbeumo, Man Utd

19 – Matheus Cunha, Man Utd

18 – Bruno Guimaraes, Newcastle

17 – Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool

16 – Ebereechi Eze, Crystal Palace

15 – Martin Odegaard, Arsenal

14 – William Saliba, Arsenal

13 – Florian Wirtz, Liverpool

12 – Alisson, Liverpool

11 – Moises Caicedo

10 – Gabriel Magalhaes

The defense of Arsenal was the meanest in the Premier League last season and Gabriel gets the recognition of our journalists and reporters – undoubtedly also impressed by his repeated threat of set pieces on the other side of the field.

9 – Bruno Fernandes

Where would man be Utd without Bruno Fernandes? That was a recurring question last season. In the midst of all his teams, the quality of the Portugal midfielder remains respected.

8 – Declan Rice

Another driving force of the title perspectives of Arsenal, Declan Rice becomes the entire midfielder in the middle of the park for the Gunners. If the football world is increasingly filled by specialists, the English man can do it all.

7 – Bukayo Saka

Arsenal supporters will certainly want to see Bukayo Saka further on this list and could prove their star boy that this will deserve a promotion next season. The next step is to inspire his team to success with his individual sparkle.

6 – Virgil van Dijk

The imperious captain of Liverpool is the best defender and there will be few arguments with that. The Dutchman remains an impressive presence in the backline of the Reds.

5 – Alexander Isak

The transfersaga of the summer? The future of Alexander Isak in Newcastle is uncertain, but his quality is not questioning. There is a reason why the Sweden striker is in demand after a brilliant campaign in black and white.

4 – Rodri

Man City missed Rodri badly due to his injury absence last season. It underlined the importance for Pep Guardiola's side even more. He is still considered one of the best in the world – fingers crossed, he can return to his former level.

3 – Cole Palmer

We love a Maverick and Colmer from Chelsea is one of the best entertainers in the Premier League. He also delivers at the big moments – whether it is a euro -final with England or when Chelsea is in the grand finale.

2 – Erling Haaland

When you score 22 Premier League goals, but is supposed to have had a disappointing season, you know that you are a decent striker. The goals of Erling Haaland continue to demand respect.

1 – Mo Salah

No surprises here. The Sterman of Liverpool wiped the prizes last season after he inspired the Reds on Premier League Glory with one of the best individual campaigns we have seen.

Premier League Player of the Year Mohamed Salah has taken the crown with the Egyptian king of Liverpool, voted for the Erling Haaland and Chelsea of Man City in Cole Palmer.

Florian Wirtz – the Big -Money summer drawing of Liverpool – was the highest ranked import, while it was Arsenal who had the most players in the top 10, with Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes who made the cut.
