Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens has officially been crowned the Premier League Signing of the Season for the 2025/26 campaign.
The 23-year-old Belgian, who arrived at Old Trafford from Royal Antwerp on deadline day last summer for approximately £18.1 million, capped off a stellar debut season by topping a division-wide public poll on the Premier League's official website.
A Transformative Campaign
Lammens’ impact was immediate and profound, providing much-needed stability to the Manchester United defense. Key highlights from his award-winning season include:
Statistical Brilliance: In 32 appearances, he kept 8 clean sheets and made 79 saves, preventing more expected goals (6.39 xG) than any other goalkeeper in the league.
Elite Reliability: He was undefeated in 28 of his 32 appearances (W18 D10 L4) and earned two nominations for the league's "Save of the Month" award.
Team Impact: His performances were instrumental in Manchester United's turnaround, helping the club secure a third-place finish and a return to the UEFA Champions League for the 2026/27 season.
Stiff Competition
Lammens faced a world-class shortlist of nominees, ultimately beating out several high-profile stars who made significant impacts at their respective clubs, including:
Granit Xhaka (Sunderland)
Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal)
João Pedro (Chelsea)
Rayan Cherki (Manchester City)
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United)
Adrien Truffert (Bournemouth)
This accolade marks the end of a whirlwind year for the goalkeeper, who also earned his senior international debut for Belgium in November 2025 and is set to represent his country at the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
