Main Body

The PFA Men's Player of the Year list features several Arsenal players after the club won its first Premier League title in 22 years. Nominees include Declan Rice, Gabriel Magalhães, and David Raya, who won the Golden Glove with 19 clean sheets. Other candidates include Erling Haaland, Rayan Cherki, and Bruno Fernandes. Fernandes is considered a top favorite because he has already won the FWA Footballer of the Year and Premier League Player of the Season awards, supported by a record 21 assists.

PFA 年度最佳男子球員名單中包含多名阿森納球員，因為該球會贏得了 22 年來的首個英超冠軍。入圍者包括 Declan Rice、Gabriel Magalhães，以及憑藉 19 場零封贏得金手套獎的 David Raya。其他候選人包括 Erling Haaland、Rayan Cherki 與 Bruno Fernandes。Fernandes 被視為頭號熱門，因為他已贏得 FWA 年度最佳球員與英超賽季最佳球員獎，並擁有紀錄性的 21 次助攻。

Meanwhile, the PFA Young Player of the Year category has faced some criticism regarding how players are chosen. While Nico O'Reilly and Junior Kroupi are the favorites, some observers have questioned the inclusion of players with very little game time, such as Max Dowman and Rio Ngumoha. Additionally, in the Women's Super League (WSL), Manchester City's Bunny Shaw and Yui Hasegawa are nominated following their team's domestic double. Other nominees include Alessia Russo, Lauren James, Jess Park, and Kirsty Hanson.

與此同時，PFA 年度最佳新秀獎的球員選拔方式面臨一些批評。雖然 Nico O'Reilly 與 Junior Kroupi 是熱門人選，但部分觀察員質疑為何納入出場時間極少的球員，例如 Max Dowman 與 Rio Ngumoha。此外，在女子超級聯賽 (WSL) 中，曼城的 Bunny Shaw 與 Yui Hasegawa 在球隊達成國內雙冠王後獲提名。其他入圍者包括 Alessia Russo、Lauren James、Jess Park 與 Kirsty Hanson。

In Spain, Lamine Yamal was named La Liga's Player of the Season. Although he missed the final six matches due to injuries, the 18-year-old helped Barcelona keep their title with 16 goals and nearly 12 assists. Consequently, he won three Player of the Month awards during the season. Furthermore, Hansi Flick was recognized as the Coach of the Year.

在西班牙，Lamine Yamal 被命名為 La Liga 賽季最佳球員。雖然他因傷錯過最後六場比賽，但這位 18 歲球員以 16 個進球和近 12 次助攻幫助巴塞隆納守住冠軍。因此，他在賽季期間贏得了三次月度最佳球員。此外，Hansi Flick 被認可為年度最佳教練。

Conclusion

The PFA winners will be officially announced on August 25, 2026, in Manchester. At the same time, Lamine Yamal is focusing on his recovery to join the Spanish national team for the next World Cup.

PFA 的得獎名單將於 2026 年 8 月 25 日在曼徹斯特正式公布。與此同時，Lamine Yamal 正專注於康復，以加入西班牙國家隊參加下一屆世界盃。
