Premier League names nominees for January 2026 Player of the Month

The first month of 2026 has come to an end, and with it the Premier League has once again announced the nominees for the January Player of the Month award.

Details: The shortlist features eight players from eight different clubs. Competing for the individual honour are Yasin Ayari of Brighton, Patrick Dorgu from Manchester United, Enzo Fernández of Chelsea, Junior Kroupi from Bournemouth, Summerville of West Ham, Igor Thiago from Brentford, Harry Wilson of Fulham, and Florian Wirtz of Liverpool.

Fans can vote for their Player of the Month until Monday, February 9. The public vote will then be combined with the votes of experts to determine the January winner.

Reminder: A footballer has complained that the Premier League has placed him on the cover of a matchday programme for the second consecutive year during the “Rainbow Laces” campaign.
