Lewis Hall has been nominated for the Premier League Young Player of the Season award, capping off a breakout campaign that has seen the 21-year-old establish himself as a vital cog in Newcastle's machine.
The former Chelsea youngster has made 28 league appearances for the Magpies in the 2025/26 season, showcasing his versatility and composure at left-back. His solitary goal of the campaign came against Manchester City, a moment that highlighted his growing confidence in the final third.
Hall's consistent performances haven't just won over the St. James' Park faithful—they've also caught the eye of England's national team setup. With the World Cup looming this summer, the defender earned his third and fourth senior caps during March's friendlies against Uruguay and Japan at Wembley, solidifying his place in the international conversation.
The award's eight-man shortlist is stacked with talent. Manchester City's Rayan Cherki and Nico O'Reilly are strong contenders, alongside West Ham's Matheus Fernandes, Brentford's Michael Kayode, and Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo. Bournemouth duo Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott round out the list, making this one of the most competitive fields in recent memory.
Newcastle fans have the chance to back their rising star—voting runs until 12pm BST on Monday, 18th May, with the winner announced on Saturday, 23rd May. For a player who's gone from promising youngster to key first-team regular, this nomination is just the latest milestone in what's shaping up to be a remarkable journey.
