After much excitement and anticipation, the nominees for the PFA awards were finally announced today.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane, Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez, Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Diego Costa and finally Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho have all been nominated for the Player of the Year award.

Kane, De Gea and Hazard were also nominated for the Young Player of the Year award alongside the likes of Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling and Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois.

Hazard was also nominated for both categories last season and while he won the Young Player of the Year award, he missed out on the Player of the Year award to Luis Suarez, who has since moved on from Liverpool to Barcelona.

There has been much controversy over the inclusion of Coutinho as many believe the likes of Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas, John Terry or Sergio Aguero deserve the nod over the Brazilian playmaker.

However, it wasn’t the PFA who decided on the nominees. The nominees were voted for by players from the Premier League, the three divisions of the Football League and the Women’s Super League.
