The six candidates in the running for the PFA Young Player of the Year Award have been announced.
Players aged 21 or younger at the start of the season are eligible for the prestigious gong who was won by Cole Palmer last year.
He is now too old to fight after being 23 last month, but one of his Chelsea teammates made the cut.
Nominees:
â—‰ Liam delap
â—‰ Dean Huijsen
â—‰ Milos Kerkez
â—‰ Myles Lewis-skelly
â—‰ Ethan nwaneri
â—‰ Morgan Rogers
Liam Delap received a nomination after scoring 12 league goals for Ipswich Town in the 2024-25 season.
Ipswich was relegated after the end of the 19th, but Delap did enough to attract attention and completed a relocation of £ 30 million to Chelsea earlier this month.
He has already made his debut for the blues at the club World Cup and registered an assist on Monday in a 2-0 win over Lafc.
Delap is accompanied on the shortlist by another player who made a transfer with a big money this summer.
Dean Huijsen flourished in Bournemouth last season and earned himself a switch from £ 50 million to Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old Spain International got out for the first time on Wednesday, but his new club could only manage a 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal.
Arsenal duo Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri are also in the mix after breaking into Mikel Arteta's first team team.
Lewis-Skelly, 18, was an unknown quantity at the start of the campaign and stated famous with Erling Haaland in September when the Norwegian attacker asked him “Who the F *** are you?”
However, he started to make a name for himself, and settled as Arsenal's first choice at the end of the season.
He also won his first English cap in March and scored his debut in a 2-0 win over Albania.
Nwaneri, also 18, got the chance to impress when Bukayo Saka sustained a serious hamstring injury in December, and he took it.
The exciting attacker yielded nine times in all competitions and currently represents England under 21 at the euros.
The last two nominees are Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez and Aston Villa who attack midfielder Morgan Rogers.
Kerkez was perhaps the best left in the Premier League last season when he settled next to Huijsen.
He is expected to become a member of Liverpool this summer, with his father and agent who recently claim that it is a 'done deal'.
Rogers will be 23 next month, but will still be eligible for the price and is in the race after he has gone into force in Villa Park.
He scored eight competition goals in the past term and also found it four times during Villas Run to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
After making his international debut in November, he now has six caps to his name and seems to be part of the English team on the World Cup of next year.
