Who is the best Premier League player for September 2025?

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been officially named the Premier League Player of the Month for September 2025, following a string of exceptional performances that underlined his reputation as one of the most lethal forwards in world football.

The Norwegian hitman was in phenomenal form throughout September, scoring five goals and providing one assist in just three Premier League matches.

His clinical finishing, strength, and intelligent positioning played a crucial role in helping Pep Guardiola’s City recover from their shaky start to the 2025/26 campaign, reestablishing themselves as title contenders.

Haaland’s tally of five goals in September was three more than any other player in the league during that period. With an additional assist, he was directly involved in six goals, twice as many as any other Premier League player. His scoring spree included a brilliant brace against Burnley, a stunning double against Manchester United in the derby, and a precise counter-attacking finish versus Arsenal. These goals showcased his remarkable versatility — from poacher’s instinct to explosive breakaway runs.

This new honor takes Haaland’s Premier League Player of the Month awards to five since arriving at the Etihad Stadium in 2022. It is yet another testament to his relentless consistency and world-class standards. The 25-year-old continues to break records and redefine what it means to be a modern striker under Guardiola’s system.

By claiming this award, Haaland beat five other top-performing nominees across the league, further solidifying his place as the most dominant striker in world football today.

With his current form and confidence, the Manchester City star looks set for another record-breaking season, as both he and City aim for domestic and European glory.
