The Premier League has officially crowned its ultimate bargain of the year. Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens has been voted the 2025/26 Premier League Signing of the Season, beating out an elite shortlist of high-profile stars and transformative summer arrivals.
The 23-year-old Belgian shot-stopper has experienced a truly meteoric rise at Old Trafford, evolving from a low-profile depth signing into an absolute fan favorite and a vital pillar of Manchester United’s campaign.
The Elite Shortlist Defeated by Lammens
Lammens claimed the award following a highly competitive fan and panel vote, finishing ahead of an impressive array of top-flight performers:
- Senne Lammens (Manchester United) — WINNER
- João Pedro (Brighton)
- Granit Xhaka (Bayer Leverkusen back to the PL)
- Rayan Cherki
- Adrien Truffert
- Viktor Gyökeres
- Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin
The Ultimate Scouting Masterstroke
When Manchester United quietly finalized the acquisition of Lammens from Royal Antwerp, he was widely expected to serve as a reliable, structural understudy. Instead, due to sudden tactical opportunities and immense training ground impression, he forced his way into the starting lineup and never looked back.
Lammens’ composure under pressure, elite shot-stopping metrics, and superb distribution quickly made him an indispensable asset for United. Securing this award ahead of elite, big-money goalscorers like Viktor Gyökeres and established creators like Rayan Cherki underscores just how massive his impact has been on the division.
With a Signing of the Season award officially in his trophy cabinet, has Senne Lammens completely solidified his status as Manchester United’s long-term No. 1, or do you expect the incoming manager to re-evaluate the goalkeeping situation this summer?
