Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, Tottenham striker Harry Kane and Manchester City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne are among the six names shortlisted for the PFA Player of the Year award.

After already scoring 29 goals in the Premier League, Salah, who moved from Roma, has been instrumental in keeping Liverpool inside the top four and is favourite to win the award.

Here we take a look at all six candidates.

KEVIN DE BRUYNE (Manchester City)

The Belgium playmaker has flourished in Pep Guardiola’s system, with his killer final balls and goal-scoring providing some of the most memorable highlights of City’s march towards the title.

De Bruyne leads the Premier League with 15 assists.

DAVID DE GEA (Manchester United)

A string of outstanding performances and improbable saves have made De Gea a key figure in United’s league campaign.

Only Manchester City have conceded fewer Premier League goals, 24, than United’s 25 – and they have faced only 201 shots to the 378 taken on De Gea’s goal.

HARRY KANE (Tottenham)

The England frontman may come up short to Salah in his bid for a third successive Premier League Golden Boot but looks set to fire Spurs to a top-four finish once again.

Kane is the only one of last year’s six nominees to also appear on this season’s list.

MOHAMED SALAH (Liverpool)

The Egypt international’s relentless form in Liverpool’s front line means Philippe Coutinho has not been missed since his January move to Barcelona.

Did you know?

Salah has been directly involved in 50 goals in all competitions this season – scoring 39, with 11 assists – in just 44 appearances.

LEROY SANE (Manchester City)

One of two players, along with Kane, nominated for both the main award and young player of the year, the winger has popped up with nine goals and 12 assists in his second Premier League season.

Did you know?

Sane is still awaiting his first senior international goal after 11 appearances for Germany.

DAVID SILVA (Manchester City)

Despite missing several games for personal reasons after the premature birth of his son, the Spain star remains integral to the success of Guardiola’s side.

Did you know?

Silva has reached double figures for Premier League assists for the third time with 11, matching his tally from two years ago while he had 15 in 2011-12.
