Brentford defender Michael Kayode has earned a spot on the shortlist for the Premier League Young Player of the Season award.
The 21-year-old right-back is one of eight nominees for the prestigious honor.
Among those competing alongside him are Manchester City’s Rayan Cherki and Nico O’Reilly, West Ham’s Matheus Fernandes, Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall, Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, and Bournemouth duo Eli Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott.
Kayode has been a consistent presence for the Bees this season, making 35 league appearances, scoring once, and providing one assist.
His long throw-ins have also become a valuable attacking weapon for the team.
The youngster initially joined Brentford on loan from Serie A side Fiorentina in January, before the London club made the move permanent last summer.
