"According to Wayne Rooney, the top three players in the Premier League this season are Antoine Semenyo, Bryan Mbeumo and Viktor Gyokeres. His choices have come in for heavy scrutiny, and with some justification with the omission of Erling Haaland particularly baffling. Semenyo has had a strong start to the campaign, scoring six goals in 11 Premier League games, and providing the offensive spark for a Bournemouth team that sit ninth in the table."
"Who knows what Rooney was thinking when he left out the free-scoring Norwegian. Haaland has an incredible 32 goals in 20 games for club and country in 2025/26, a record that has propelled Norway to the World Cup and helped Manchester City surge into second in the Premier League.He also seems to have embraced a new level of responsibility at the Etihad and there is no doubt he is the main threat to Arsenal's title challenge."
Wayne Rooney selected Antoine Semenyo, Bryan Mbeumo and Viktor Gyokeres as the Premier League's top three players, provoking criticism because of high-profile omissions. Semenyo has scored six goals in 11 league games and has provided the offensive spark for Bournemouth, who sit ninth. Mbeumo has five goals and has been a key figure for Manchester United as the team adjusts under Ruben Amorim while Benjamin Sesko settles. Gyokeres has four goals in 10 league games and has struggled to justify being Arsenal's outright number nine. Erling Haaland was omitted despite 32 goals in 20 games for club and country in 2025/26 and ongoing influence at Manchester City.
