Eight Premier League stars have been nominated for the April 2026 EA SPORTS Player of the Month award, and we need your help to decide who wins.
You, the fans, have until 12:00 BST on Monday 4 May to vote on the EA SPORTS website for one player from the shortlist below.
Your vote will be combined with the choices from a panel of experts to determine the winner, who will be revealed next week.
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United)
P3 W2 D1 L0 G0 A4
West Ham needed players to step up in their relegation battle and Bowen has delivered. Four assists – two in the 4-0 thrashing of Wolverhampton Wanderers, and another two in the 2-1 win over Everton – have propelled the team to seven points from a possible nine at a crucial stage of the season. Bowen is now joint-second with Rayan Cherki on 10 assists for the campaign.
Rayan Cherki (Manchester City)
P3 W3 D0 L0 G1 A2
Entertainer Cherki has become the creative force of Man City’s side and was influential again in a month when they drew level on points with Arsenal at the top of the table and briefly moved ahead on goals scored. He netted a fabulous solo opener in the crucial top-of-the-table win against Arsenal and set up two more in the 3-0 demolition of Chelsea.
Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest)
P3 W2 D1 L0 G4 A1
Gibbs-White is finding top form at the perfect time for Nottingham Forest and his goals in April helped them ease away from the bottom three. His stunning second-half hat-trick against Burnley transformed a game they had been losing at half-time. He also scored and assisted in the surprise 5-0 rout at Sunderland, moving Forest five points clear of 18th-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
Pascal Gross (Brighton & Hove Albion)
P3 W2 D1 L0 G0 A2
Brighton have been one of the league’s in-form teams and Gross has been at the heart of an unbeaten month that has lifted them into sixth place. It is no coincidence that his return to the team in January has sparked a surge in results and the midfielder set up goals in the win against Burnley and the 2-2 draw with Spurs, before starring in the 3-0 victory against Chelsea.
Konstantinos Mavropanos (West Ham United)
P3 W2 D1 L0 G2 A0 CS2
West Ham conceded only once in April and Mavropanos, with his strength and athleticism, has been the key component in a defence that may well save them from the drop. Not only that, he delivered at the other end when it mattered, opening the scoring against Wolves before sealing an emphatic win late on against the league’s bottom side.
Noah Okafor (Leeds United)
P3 W2 D1 L0 G3 A1
Okafor’s double to stun Manchester United – one of the strongest teams in 2026 – set the tone for a brilliant month that edged Leeds further away from relegation. The forward then scored and set up another as they brushed past Wolves. With an FA Cup semi-final, Leeds manager Daniel Farke described it as one of the best periods in the club’s modern history and Okafor was at the centre of it.
Nico O’Reilly (Manchester City)
P3 W3 D0 L0 G1 A0 CS2
Man City’s breakout star went from strength to strength in April. He opened the scoring against Chelsea, delivered the cross that Erling Haaland swept in for the winner against Arsenal and was a standout player as Man City won all three of their league matches. His defensive contribution was equally important: City kept two clean sheets and conceded only once in that period.
Alex Scott (AFC Bournemouth)
P3 W2 D1 L0 G1 A0
Bournemouth extended their unbeaten league run to 14 matches with two wins and a draw, and Scott’s ball-carrying and ability to resist the opponent’s press have been central to it. He popped up with the shock winner against Arsenal – one of the defining moments of Bournemouth’s season and a result that has given them a genuine chance of qualifying for Europe.
