Sunderland boss David Moyes is delighted for Joel Asoro over his Golden Boy nomination.
Asoro is among the lengthy list of nominees for the award.
Moyes said: "Joel has got potential and he is very young.
"He is 18 this week and he is someone who we introduced into the first-team set-up during pre-season because of numbers but he made a big impact.
"Like all young players their development can be up and down.
"There have been parts of this season when he has been good and bits of the season when he has dipped.
"But with his age he is doing really well and his development is coming on nicely and we hope we can continue that."
