That Grealish is something special to be nominated for two concurrent awards, this and the British Olympic Diving Teams most consistent performer award.

Its not how good you are, its who you play for (Grealish token gesture). If Ashley Barnes played for Bayern Munich instead of Burnley I guarantee he would have made the shortlist for the Premier League Young Player of the Year award thise season

Martial seems to have been around forever.

Has to be TAA in terms of overall contribution and achievements this season.

I suspect next seasons list for this award will be quite something. Foden has to get his chance at a regular start now. Greenwood looks phenomenal and has already surpassed Rashford for me. Pulisic looks like he could go on and be something special.

My choice would be

Greenwood
TAA
Pulisic

But think the top 2 will be reversed.

Greenwood is 18, scored 1 in 3 in his first season in the premier league usually played slightly out of position and or used from the bench. Total season stats are 17 goals in 47 appearances including goals in Europa league.
Great return.

TAA well hes won just about everything, involved in a fantastic defence and has popped up with plenty of assists and some belting goals too.

Really impressed with Pulisic in his first season, looks a real player in the making, although he has plenty of football under his belt.

Discounted Grealish as he is 24, nearly 25 so hardly young and hes been around several years now.

Between Greenwood & Pulisic for me, i'd probably give the nod to Pulisic, but both have had great seasons.

One to keep an eye out for next season is Will Smallbone who's broken through into Southampton's first team this season, and he's impressed in the few games I've viewed since the restart.

Saka at Arsenal is another who should have a bright future.

Why on earth Grealish is even included on the Young Player of the Year nominees baffles me, he's not what i'd consider young.

Will Smallbone? What an unfortunate name.

Bit of a joke for McNeil not to be at least included in the nominations.

He’s had a better season than some of those listed.
