Premier League Golden Awards Race Heats Up Ahead of Final Matches

London, England — With just one round of matches left in the Premier League 2024/25 season, the competition for three prestigious individual awards is reaching a thrilling climax. The Golden Boot, Golden Glove, and Playmaker awards are all still up for grabs as teams gear up for their final fixtures this Sunday.

Mohamed Salah of Liverpool is the leading candidate for both the Golden Boot and Playmaker awards. Currently, he has amassed 28 goals this season, putting him five goals ahead of Newcastle‘s Alexander Isak, who has 23 goals. Salah’s scoring prowess has made him a standout performer despite a recent dry spell, where he scored only once in his last eight matches.

The last player to win the Golden Boot and Playmaker awards in the same season was Salah himself during the 2021/22 season. He scored 23 goals and provided 13 assists that year, making him one of only four players to achieve such a feat in the Premier League’s history.

Salah needs just two assists in the final game against Crystal Palace to tie the record for most assists in a single season, which currently stands at 20. His closest competitors in the assist race are Jacob Murphy and Anthony Elanga, who trail behind him significantly.

Meanwhile, the race for the Golden Glove is heating up between Arsenal‘s David Raya and Nottingham Forest‘s Matz Sels, both having recorded 13 clean sheets this season. Raya is hoping to retain the title after claiming it last season. His final match against Southampton presents a favorable opportunity, while Sels faces a challenging game against Chelsea.

As the final matches approach, the excitement builds, with stars like Salah potentially making history once again. Fans eagerly await a dramatic conclusion to the season, where individual accolades and team glory can be decided in the blink of an eye.
