Evan Ferguson On Young Player Of The Year Shortlist

At 18, Ferguson is at least two years younger than his fellow nominees.

Republic of Ireland striker Evan Ferguson has been nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award.

The Brighton player will battle it out with Manchester City's Eirling Haaland, who was also nominated for the Player of the Year award, former team-mate Moisés Caicedo, who has joined Chelsea in recent days, Arsenal pair Bukayo Saka – who could also make it a double - and Gabriel Martinelli and Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey.

Ferguson became the youngest Brighton player to score in the Premier League at the age of 18 in a 4-2 defeat to Arsenal. The Republic of Ireland forward added a further five league goals in a promising season.

At 18, Ferguson is at least two years younger than his fellow nominees.

Haaland also is one of three members of Manchester City's treble-winning team to be nominated for the Professional Footballers' Association Players' Player of the Year award.
