Mebude competes with Chelsea and Man City starlets, 4 others for PL2 Player of the Season 

Manchester City winger Adedire Mebude has been shortlisted for the Premier League 2 Player of the Season award. 

The Scotland U21 international with a Nigerian background is among three Manchester City starlets nominated for the yearly accolade, the others being Oscar Bobb and Carlos Borges.

Completing the eight-man shortlist are Dominic Ballard (Southampton), Reyes Cleary (West Bromwich Albion), Mateo Joseph Fernandez (Leeds United), Alfie Gilchrist (Chelsea) and Jack Wells-Morrison (Crystal Palace).

Mebude has been nominated for the award following an outstanding campaign in which he registered eleven goals and thirteen assists as the Citizens retained the Premier League 2 title. 

The former Glasgow Rangers youth teamer was also nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month for January 2023, but missed out on the award to Manchester United's Joe Hugill. 

Dire, younger brother of former Watford striker Dapo Mebude, was born in Kent, England and joined Manchester City in October 2020.

The nominees were selected by the Premier League Football Development Panel after PL2 club coaches proposed the best performances by opposing players throughout the season.

The winner of the award will be announced at the Premier League Youth Conference Awards evening on Monday, May 22.
