As the curtain falls on the thrilling 2024/25 Premier League season, the spotlight now turns to celebrating the brightest young stars who lit up the campaign. The Premier League has officially unveiled the eight nominees for the Hublot Young Player of the Season award, each making a remarkable impact for their clubs.
🌟 Here are the shortlisted nominees:
🔹 Liam Delap (Ipswich Town)
Despite playing for a relegated side, Delap stood out with 12 goals, accounting for over a third of Ipswich’s total. At 22, he becomes the first player from a relegated club to be nominated.
🔹 Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest)
Forest’s UCL qualification push owes much to Elanga’s creativity. With 10 assists, he ranks joint-third among all Premier League players and becomes only the fourth Forest player to record double-digit assists in a single campaign.
🔹 Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool)
A powerhouse in midfield, the Dutch international was crucial to Liverpool’s title win under Arne Slot. He’s featured in every match but one, amassing 176 duels won, 67 tackles, and 57 interceptions, along with four assists.
🔹 Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth)
The 20-year-old defender was a rock at the back for Bournemouth, helping them reach a record points tally with 181 clearances, 114 duels won, and three goals scored.
🔹 Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
Looking to defend his crown, last year’s winner delivered 15 goals and 8 assists, including a historic four-goal first half against Bournemouth — a Premier League first. Palmer’s total of 23 goal contributions is among the league’s best.
🔹 Joao Pedro (Brighton)
A shining light in Fabian Hurzeler’s debut season, Pedro netted 10 goals and contributed six assists, marking his best-ever top-flight season.
🔹 Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
The 22-year-old’s breakout campaign saw him bag eight goals and nine assists, playing a key role in Villa’s push for Champions League football.
🔹 William Saliba (Arsenal)
The defensive titan anchored the league’s meanest backline, conceding just 33 goals. Saliba helped Arsenal to 12 clean sheets, cementing his place as one of the league’s top defenders.
