2025–26 Premier League: Who's Dominating the Golden Boot, Assist Charts, and Golden Glove Race?

The 2025–26 Premier League campaign concluded on May 24, with Arsenal claiming the championship trophy and several of the division's finest players collecting the most coveted individual honors.

The wealth of talent on display in the Premier League is unmatched by any other league in world football, but in a season packed with memorable moments and exceptional performances, a select few managed to rise above the competition.

As the curtain falls on another remarkable season in England's top division, the Golden Boot, Playmaker Award, and Golden Glove recipients have all been confirmed. Predictably, some of the planet's finest players headline the roll of honor for the league's most prestigious individual accolades.

Here's a breakdown of the Premier League award winners for 2025–26.

For the third time in four Premier League campaigns, the lethal Erling Haaland claimed the Golden Boot, netting 27 goals to finish as the season's leading scorer. The Norwegian's extraordinary eye for goal was a pivotal factor in Man City's involvement in the title race.

Haaland now boasts three Premier League Golden Boots to his name, matching division icons Alan Shearer and Harry Kane. Only Thierry Henry and Mohamed Salah have claimed more Golden Boot awards than the Norwegian forward, who has won it in three of his four seasons in England.

Brentford's Igor Thiago came in second with 22 goals. The Brazilian was outstanding stepping up as Brentford's primary striker following the exits of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, nearly guiding the club into European competition and securing a place in Brazil's 2026 World Cup squad for his exceptional campaign.

Antoine Semenyo netted 10 goals for Bournemouth in an impressive first half of the season before completing a move to Man City in the January transfer window. The Ghana international contributed another seven goals for City in the second half of the campaign, finishing with 17 in total in what was a superb overall season for the 26-year-old.

Ollie Watkins endured a sluggish start to the season but grew into the campaign as it progressed. A brace in the final fixture saw him climb to fourth in the scoring charts, ending the season on 16 goals — the highest tally of any English player.

João Pedro was a bright spot in Chelsea's deeply disappointing campaign, yet his 15 goals were not enough to rescue the Blues or earn him a first World Cup call-up. Likewise, Morgan Gibbs-White's 15 goals proved vital in helping Nottingham Forest steer clear of relegation, but Thomas Tuchel still overlooked him for England's World Cup squad.

Bruno Fernandes claimed the Playmaker Award for the most assists this season, racking up 21 to become the player who finally shattered the single-season assist record previously held by Thierry Henry from 2002–03 and equaled by Kevin de Bruyne in 2019–20.

Smashing the long-standing assist record alongside a string of breathtaking displays also earned Fernandes the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award, as well as the Premier League Player of the Season honor.

Man City's Rayan Cherki registered the second-highest assist tally with 12 in what was a dazzling debut season for one of the Premier League's most thrilling young talents. Despite Jarrod Bowen contributing 11 assists, his efforts were not enough to keep West Ham United up, as the club suffered relegation for the first time since 2010–11.

Haaland ranked fourth in the division for assists with eight, looking to challenge the perception that his value is limited to finishing. Rounding out the top five, Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah, Everton's James Garner, and Fulham's Harry Wilson each recorded seven assists.

David Raya enjoyed his finest season in English football, with his league-leading 19 clean sheets in 37 appearances playing a decisive role in Arsenal securing the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years.

Raya has now won the Golden Glove for three consecutive seasons, taking the award every year since his arrival in north London. Only Joe Hart and the legendary Petr Čech have accumulated more Premier League Golden Gloves than the Spaniard.

Gianluigi Donnarumma faced considerable expectations when he arrived at Man City to fill the void left by six-time Premier League champion and three-time Golden Glove winner Ederson. The Italian had his share of errors but performed admirably on the whole, keeping 15 clean sheets in his debut season in England.

Three goalkeepers tied on 11 clean sheets round out the top five. England internationals Jordan Pickford of Everton and Crystal Palace's Dean Henderson are joined by Bournemouth's shot-stopper Đorđe Petrović.
