The Portuguese midfielder was rewarded for a season in which he dominated the league’s creative statistics, finishing with the most assists, chances created and expected assists in the division. His vision and consistency also saw him lead the league in open-play chances created, accurate passes into the penalty box and big chances created.

Fernandes beat a strong field of contenders to claim the award, including Erling Haalandand Ghana international Antoine Semenyo, who enjoyed a breakthrough campaign that drew widespread praise across the Premier League.

For Semenyo, despite missing out on the top individual honour, the Ghanaian forward’s impressive performances marked a major step forward in his career, with his pace, strength and attacking contributions earning admiration from fans and pundits alike.

Fernandes’ award underlines his status as one of the Premier League’s elite playmakers and caps a remarkable season for the Portugal star.
