The Premier League on Thursday, unveiled an eight-man shortlist for their Young Player of the Season.
Arsenal, who are currently in second place, lead the way with three names nominated.
The 2022-23 campaign was the year when a handful of young talents got to showcase their ability – with 22-year-old Erling Haaland arguably the standout name after blitzing his way to 36 goals in 33 Premier League games.
He makes the list as the only name from Manchester City despite their incredible season as they look to seal the Premier League title with a win against Chelsea this weekend.
Likely runners-up Arsenal have still had a terrific season despite falling away in the title race and their core of young stars have helped them back into the top four for the first time since 2017 – which has been recognised in the shortlist.
Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, both 21, and Martin Odegaard – who is 24 but started the season aged 23 – all make the selection.
Completing the list were another duo from Newcastle – Sven Botman and Alexander Isak. Botman has won plaudits for his brave and aggressive displays in the heart of defence while Isak has made a quick impression since joining from Real Sociedad – scoring 10 goals in 14 starts.
There are no names from Manchester United on the list – despite some hopeful Red Devils supporters tipping Alejandro Garnacho for a spot on the list.
And Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham also had no representatives after their turbulent campaigns.
