Premier League Young Player of the Year shortlist is announced - with Chelsea striker and £50m star in the running for prestigious award

The six candidates in the running for the PFA Young Player of the Year award have been announced.

Players who are aged 21 or under at the start of the season are eligible for the prestigious gong which was won by Cole Palmer last year.

He is now too old to be in contention after turning 23 last month, but one of his Chelsea team-mates has made the cut.

Liam Delap has received a nomination after scoring 12 league goals for Ipswich Town in the 2024-25 season.

Ipswich were relegated after finishing 19th, but Delap did enough to catch the eye and completed a £30m move to Chelsea earlier this month.
