It’s time to hand out the gold stars.
On Tuesday evening, Arsenal secured their fourth English league title, effectively bringing the 2025-26 Premier League season to a close.
Before the final matchday, OneFootball’s French editorial team therefore decided to name the five standout men of the Premier League season.
Gabriel – Arsenal
It’s hard not to start with him. The unshakable rock at the heart of the Gunners’ rock-solid defence, the Brazilian colossus was also a threat from set pieces throughout the season.
Aggressive in duels, tenacious, and the undisputed leader of Arsenal’s back line, Gabriel may well be the best centre-back on the planet right now.

David Raya – Arsenal
This title owes a great deal to the three-time Golden Glove winner. Once again named the Premier League’s best goalkeeper this season, the 30-year-old Spaniard was imperious right through to the very final minutes of the campaign.
His last-gasp save at the end of the match against West Ham is a perfect example of that. Before the final matchday, David Raya has 19 clean sheets in 37 Premier League matches.
Bruno Fernandes – Manchester United
No matter Manchester United’s form, Bruno Fernandes always delivers. First in a deeper role under Ruben Amorim, then further up the pitch with Michael Carrick, the Portuguese genius has shone.
He still has one match left to break the record for most assists in a single Premier League season (20), which he currently shares with Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
