64 Comments The prolific Dutchman, who has scored 34 goals this season, heads a six-man shortlist revealed by the Professional Footballers' Association for their top award.
The Manchester City trio David Silva, Sergio Agüero and Joe Hart, Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker and Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney make up the rest of the list.
The winner will be announced at the union's prestigious annual awards night on Sunday.
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor assessed each of the candidates as the list was announced.
Taylor feels Van Persie, 28, has now started to show his true potential after being hampered by injuries in the past.
