For the second time in three months, Will Lankshear has been shortlisted for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award.
Initially up for the prize in November, the in-form Development Squad striker is now in the running for January’s award, having scored five goals in just two league games at Under-21 level last month, plus another in the Premier League Cup.
His haul included a fantastic hat-trick in our 5-3 home win over Aston Villa on 27 January, plus a brace as we won 3-2 at Southampton on 12 January.
The 18-year-old rounded off the month with a late winner in our home tie with Bristol City in the Premier League Cup on 30 January, which rubber-stamped our place in the knockout stages with a game to spare.
Also competing for the award are Kenneth Aboh of Norwich City, Caden Kelly of Sunderland, Nathan Lowe of Stoke City, Manchester United’s Sam Mather, Jimmy-Jay Morgan of Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion’s Jacob Slater and Franco Umeh of Crystal Palace.
The nominees were selected by the Premier League Football Development Panel after club coaches proposed the best performances by opposing players throughout last month. The panel will also decide the winner.
