Ireland's Evan Ferguson named on shortlist for PFA Young Player of the Year award

Republic of Ireland striker Evan Ferguson is among six names to be shortlisted for the Professional Footballers' Association Players' Young Player of the Year award.

The 18-year-old had a breakthrough campaign last season - scoring six goals in the Premier League for Brighton as Roberto De Zerbi's claimed a spot in this year's UEFA Europa League.

Ferguson, who is the Seagulls' youngest player to score in the English top flight, netted his first goal of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign in last weekend's opening day victory over Luton Town.

Erling Haaland, Moisés Caicedo, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Jacob Ramsey are the other five names to be nominated for the Young Player of the Year award.
