Three Leeds United players land Premier League award nominations for fast start to season

Leeds United forward Rodrigo Moreno has been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for the month of August following his stellar start to the season.

The Spaniard registered four goals and one assist in Leeds' first five games, which included a double in a 2-2 draw against Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium.

The 31-year-old has been ruled out for the next few weeks of the season however, after dislocating his shoulder in their 1-1 draw against Everton last week.

The seven other nominees for the award are Brighton winger Pascal Gross, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus and midfielder Martin Odegaard, Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope and Crystal Palace winger Wilfred Zaha.

Fans can vote for their choice via the EA Sports website until 12:00 BST on Monday 12 September.

Mateo Joseph and Sonny Perkins have also both been nominated for the Premier League 2 version of the award, after both 18-year-olds posted five goals each in August.

They'll have to contend with Southampton's Dominic Ballard, Everton's Thomas Cannon, Leicester's Tawanda Maswanhise, Fulham's Oliver O'Neill, Norwich Abu Kamara, and Sunderland's Max Thompson.
