Liverpool fans may have been shocked not to see Ryan Gravenberch among the nominees for the 2025 PFA Young Player of the Year award, despite winning the Premier League’s equivalent prize.

Arne Slot's decision to redeploy the midfielder in a holding role in front of the back four proved to be a stroke of genius, and his displays saw him nominated for the Premier League Player of the Year Award.



He also scooped the young player prize.

At 23, Gravenberch qualified for the Premier League award, but not the PFA.

Instead, his potential new teammate Milos Kerkez is among the candidates after a stellar season for Bournemouth.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was the last Liverpool player to win the PFA Young Player of the Year award

Both aged 18, the pair could win this award in the years to come.

Cole Palmer scooped the prize last season, while Trent Alexander-Arnold was the last Liverpool player to win it in 2020.

The senior PFA awards are yet to be announced, but Mohamed Salah is expected to claim the top prize once again
