With ten goals to his name, Awoniyi not only displayed his scoring ability but also played a crucial role in saving Nottingham Forest from relegation. His impact on the team's survival makes him a strong contender for the title.
Alex Iwobi, the final nominee, has already been recognized as Everton Players' Player of the Year.
The former Arsenal midfielder's excellent displays were pivotal in helping his club retain their Premier League status. Iwobi's contributions throughout the season make him a deserving candidate for the prestigious award.
