🚨 Official: Cherki beaten to the Premier League young player award! | OneFootball

A deserved trophy?

A few hours after revealing the name of the player of the season, the Premier League announced the winner of the Young Player of the Season award.

Tipped as the overwhelming favorite, Rayan Cherki was beaten to the prize by his teammate Nico O'Reilly. The Manchester City full-back also finished ahead of Eli Junior Kroupi, Mateus Fernandes, Lewis Hall, Michael Kayode, Kobbie Mainoo and Alex Scott.

Reliable defensively but above all formidable on the ball, O'Reilly has enjoyed one of the season’s standout breakthroughs. With five goals and three assists, the 21-year-old has become one of the key players in Pep Guardiola’s squad.

This trophy will still come as a disappointment for the two Frenchmen, Rayan Cherki (four goals, 12 assists) and Éli Junior Kroupi (13 goals), who also produced top-level seasons in their first year in the Premier League.
