Teddy Teuma, Victor Boniface and Mike Trésor.
The Pro League has announced the three nominees for the Jupiler Pro League Player of the Season. All players of the eighteen clubs in the Jupiler Pro League cast their vote. Three players came out with the most votes behind their names. Antwerp captain Toby Alderweireld falls just next to the podium after the vote by his fellow football players.

The three nominees
– Victor Boniface (22 years old) – Union
– Teddy Teuma (29 years) – Union
– Mike Trésor (24 years old) – KRC Genk
Voting took place between 15 and 29 May, the winner will be announced on Monday 5 June during the Pro League Awards gala. Certainly not on the honors list: a player from Antwerp. With Toby Alderweireld, Jean Butez and Vincent Janssen The Great Old as many as three players in the top ten, none of them made it to the podium. Club Brugge was unable to deliver a player in the top ten, KAA Gent did: top scorer Hugo Cuypers occupies fifth place. With three players in the top ten, one of which is in the last three, Genk has the strongest representation in the final result.
Numbers 4 through 10
4. Toby Alderweireld – Antwerp
5. Hugo Cuypers – KAA Gent
6. Jean Butez – Antwerp
7. Vincent Janssen – Antwerp
8. Bryan Heynen – KRC Genk
9. Joseph Paintsil – KRC Genk
10. Maxim De Cuyper – Westerlo
Last year, the trophy was won by Denis Undav, then Union player. None of the current three nominees is already on the honor roll. Jan Ceulemans won the first edition of this referendum in 1984, which is organized by the Pro League with the Nieuwsblad as media partner.
