The fact that 4 of the 6 nominees for Player of the Year are also up for Young Player of the Year is a detriment to the rising stars that can currently be found in the Premier League. All of the nominees are well-deserving, and have contributed wholly to the success of their club. Many expect the winner to be a two-horse race between Harry Kane and Hazard, but for argument’s sake, we’ll run through the entire list of players.
