With the title race, European spots, and relegation battle heating up, February saw several players and managers deliver exceptional performances. From Mohamed Salah’s goal-scoring heroics to David Moyes’ impact at Everton, the competition for these monthly honors is fierce.
Player of the Month Nominees – February 2025
Six players have been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award, representing clubs fighting for European spots, mid-table stability, and relegation survival.
1. Beto (Everton)
The Portuguese striker has been a game-changer for Everton, scoring five goals in five games. His contributions helped the Toffees enjoy an unbeaten month, with two crucial wins over Leicester City and Crystal Palace, along with important draws against Liverpool, Manchester United, and Brentford. Under David Moyes, Beto has flourished and played a vital role in Everton’s resurgence.
2. Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)
Mateta continued his excellent form for Crystal Palace, earning a second consecutive nomination. The French forward netted four goals in February, taking his season tally to 12. His goals were instrumental in Palace’s impressive performances, including a 4-1 demolition of Aston Villa and a dominant 2-0 victory over Manchester United.
3. Yankuba Minteh (Brighton & Hove Albion)
The Brighton winger has been one of the league’s rising stars this season. He bagged two goals in the Seagulls’ victory over Chelsea and also provided an assist in their commanding 4-0 triumph against Southampton. His contributions have helped Brighton stay in contention for a European qualification spot.
4. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
A familiar name in the Player of the Month race, Salah was at his clinical best in February. The Egyptian star was involved in 10 goals in six games, scoring six times and providing four assists. His playmaking ability has been a revelation this season, as he inches closer to breaking the Premier League’s single-season assist record. Salah is the favorite to claim this month’s award.
5. Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool)
While Salah grabbed headlines, his teammate Szoboszlai was equally influential in Liverpool’s dominance. The Hungarian midfielder contributed two goals and an assist, showcasing his creativity and goal-scoring prowess. His performances have made him a vital part of Arne Slot’s midfield as Liverpool continue their charge toward the Premier League title.
6. Djed Spence (Tottenham Hotspur)
One of the surprise contenders for the award, Spence has enjoyed a fantastic revival at Tottenham. Initially called in as an emergency left-back, Spence played a key role in Spurs’ defensive solidity, keeping clean sheets against Brentford and Manchester United before scoring his first Premier League goal in the win over Ipswich Town. His performances have provided Spurs with a much-needed defensive boost.
