Two Manchester City players, Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, have been nominated for the Premier League Young Player of the Season award, showcasing their impressive performances in the league. Despite their strong showings, there was no place for Jeremy Doku, who has also had a solid first season at City. Doku, signed last summer, showcased a direct style and unpredictable nature that excited fans in the first half of the season.

Foden and Haaland, as the top goal contributors for City, have had fantastic seasons, with Haaland scoring 25 goals and Foden scoring 16 goals in the Premier League. Foden recently won the FWA Player of the Season award, further highlighting his impact on the team. Some have questioned their inclusion in the Young Player of the Season award due to their age, but their performances speak for themselves. Doku, despite not making the nominees list, is still seen as one of the brightest young talents in the division.

Another player to watch out for in the Young Player of the Season race is Cole Palmer, who has been sensational for Chelsea after leaving City. Palmer has scored 21 goals and provided nine assists in the Premier League, showcasing his talent and potential. His performances could potentially rival those of Foden and Haaland, adding more competition to the award. Winning the Young Player of the Season award would be a significant achievement for Palmer and further validate his talent in the league.
