COLE PALMER HEADS a trio of England stars in the running for the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
Chelsea forward Palmer enjoyed a breakthrough season in the Premier League and scored England’s equaliser in their Euro 2024 final defeat by Spain.
Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka are also on the shortlist.
They are joined by Mainoo’s Old Trafford team-mate Alejandro Garnacho, Brighton striker Joao Pedro and Michael Olise, who had a fine season for Crystal Palace and has since joined Bayern Munich.
Chelsea duo Lauren James and Aggie Beever-Jones are up for the Women’s Young Player of the Year award.
Manchester City’s Khiara Keating and Jess Park are also shortlisted along with Maya Le Tissier of Manchester United and Grace Clinton, who excelled after joining Tottenham on loan from United.
The winners will be announced at the PFA Awards ceremony in Manchester on 20 August.
Any irish transfer news
@Square: why would a scouser like yourself be interested in Irish transfer news? If ya so inclined there was a big Irish transfer made the other day costing €4.6 billion from the Irish team of PAYE to Roddy O Gorman to bring in more players for the Irish team
@WqM9AAv3: muted bye
@Square: Hi there 90 degrees. That’s not a nice thing to do. Muting poor jed.
@Ray Ridge: He comments non stop and says nothing lol
@Square: You know what they say” if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything at all”. It should be a motto of some of the people on here.
@Darren Murphy: I will unmute him again i just need break from him lol
@Square: He’s not educational and insightful like me, is what you’re trying to say.
@Ray Ridge: No one is im afraid to say he replys to comments but not on the subject matter haha
@Ray Ridge: Educated.
Palmer class.
Joao Pedro?? Cole Palmer shoe in.
@Darren Murphy: Yes he is 22 had great season
@Square: Only started 19 premier league games. He is a good player but De Zerbi rotated him too much. Interesting to see how he gets on with more game time under new manager. Jarrad Branthwaite 35 appearances for everton deserved a nomination but when your a defender you dont get the credit.
@Darren Murphy: yes and looks better than evan in fairness
@Square: Only 3 defenders won the senior award since premier league inception, one being the great Paul Mcgrath won the first.
@Darren Murphy:Spot on but they mostlt give to the flare players
@Darren Murphy: he good defender allright
