Joao Pedro has made the shortlist for the PFA Young Player of the Year.

The award is voted for by fellow professionals, with the winner to be announced on Tuesday 20 August.

The 22-year-old joined Albion from Watford last summer and enjoyed a terrific first season at the Amex.

His impressive record of nine goals and three assists in the Premier League saw him finish as our top scorer last season, but it was in cup and European competition that his performances set him apart.

Five goals in two FA Cup matches and six goals in six games in the Europa League saw him finish the campaign with 20 goals in all competitions, a feat last achieved by Glenn Murray during our promotion winning campaign in 2016/17.

The Brazilian's form earned him his international debut in November 2023.
