These 10 Premier League stars who have all won a Player of the Season award for their clubs \u2013 some only last season \u2013 could be on their way out at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bernardo Silva (Manchester City)<\/p>\n
Pep Guardiola hoping Silva will \u201cstay forever\u201d has inevitably ramped up rumours of his summer exit when his contract comes to an end. He \u2018wants Barcelona most\u2019 apparently.<\/p>\n
And Guardiola\u2019s claim that he \u201csleeps better\u201d when he includes the midfielder in his side and that it\u2019s \u201cimportant to my health\u201d suggests it may actually be better for everyone for them to part ways, lest Silva discover the shrine to him in his manager\u2019s second bedroom before Guardiola uncovers the likeness of him tattooed on his back.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just a fan, Bernardo, that\u2019s all. Your biggest fan.\u00a0It took 14 hours! I fainted three times!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martin Odegaard (Arsenal)<\/p>\n
The new Arsenal scapegoat<\/a><\/strong> and it\u2019s hard to question the Gooners\u2019 selection. He wasn\u2019t great when he returned from injury last season but this term \u2013 save for the odd decent display \u2013 Odegaard looks to have almost entirely lost both the imagination and vision for a pass and the ability to deliver them. Ten-yard passes to Bukayo Saka\u2019s feet isn\u2019t going to cut it as the playmaker in a title-chasing side.<\/p>\n His continued inclusion in the side is particularly galling for those who want to him dropped while Eberechi Eze watches from the bench.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)<\/p>\n Footballers blaming the wind as Van Dijk did after his error led to Bournemouth\u2019s opening goal on Saturday<\/a><\/strong> will always bring howls of laughter from the 20-stone lager-drinkers down the pub asking \u201chow much does he get paid again?\u201d The wind is a thing though, and does make a clearance from over your shoulder more challenging than it otherwise would be.<\/p>\n What Van Dijk didn\u2019t explain was why he compounded that mistake by not bothering to even attempt to block Alex Jimenez\u2019s cross and why oh why he insists on looking at anyone else to blame for a blunder was his alone. You\u2019re the captain, mate, take responsibility.<\/p>\n It was far from the first example of a lethargy in mind and body this season from a guy it\u2019s becoming increasingly difficult to imagine being at the heart of a future title-winning team.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Premier League winners and losers: Manchester United, Arsenal, Fulham, Liverpool, Forest, Palace<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)<\/p>\n Anonymous in defeat to Bournemouth, save for a couple of comically mishit shots, to strengthen the theory that he\u2019s not only taken his foot off the gas having been handed a bumper new contract, but has turned off the engine and thrown the keys from the car.<\/p>\n We would suggest that far more likely explanations for his struggles are Salah<\/a><\/strong> being a year older and thus not quite so sharp, him not gelling with the new players in the squad, or \u2013 most likely \u2013 a combination of those factors.<\/p>\n Whatever the cause, there is simply no place for a footballer contributing so little who brought about such friction by throwing his toys from the pram after being dropped to the bench for two games of football.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Cole Palmer (Chelsea)<\/p>\n Palmer is \u201cvery, very happy\u201d<\/a> <\/strong>at Chelsea despite reports of homesickness and ensuing links to Manchester United, insists Liam Rosenior after \u201cnumerous conversations\u201d with the England international in what appears to have been two weeks of what we can only imagine are absurdly positive and intense talks.<\/p>\n Y\u2019know, those ones where the speaker never breaks eye contact as though they believe it to be key to the art of open conversation but actually makes the other person feel incredibly uncomfortable to the point where they will say anything \u2013 like their intent to remain at football club \u2013 to bring the dialogue (we assume that\u2019s what Rosenior labels these one-to-ones in his Google calendar) to an abrupt end.<\/p>\n READ: Cole Palmer leaving Chelsea for Man Utd would be final BlueCo straw after Rosenior<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Luke Shaw (Manchester United)<\/p>\n Shaw has started all 23 of United\u2019s Premier League games this season, with more recent displays lending themselves to the view that the 30-year-old is in yet another period of redemption in an 11-and-a-half-year Old Trafford career featuring more peaks and troughs than a pigsty of unbaked meringue.<\/p>\n With that undulation in mind, with his contract expiring in 2027, a sale when the Shaw going\u2019s good makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa)<\/p>\n He failed to down tools sufficiently to force through a move to Manchester United in the summer, but Villa \u2013 continuously looking for means to boost their coffers \u2013 are now said to have set his price tag at \u00a340m<\/a><\/strong> for a transfer at the end of the season.<\/p>\n Martinez has saved 76.1% of the shots he has faced this season \u2013 the most in the league \u2013 but no player has made more than his three errors leading to goals.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)<\/p>\n Fernandes is in a position to hold United over a barrel this summer, when they will have to either offer him a\u00a0very\u00a0lucrative new contract before he turns 32 in September or face the daunting prospect of sourcing a replacement.<\/p>\n What they absolutely cannot do is allow him to run down his deal and leave for nothing in 2027 while there are plenty of suitors willing to pay big bucks for his signature.<\/p>\n
