\n Read more<\/span> <\/p>\n After the first international break of the season, Max featured for our under-19s and under-21s, but remained determined to return to the first team. He showed his worth by scoring stunning goals against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Youth League and Wolves in the Premier League 2. <\/p>\n Max got his opportunity to prove himself in our Carabao Cup tie against Brighton & Hove Albion, where he lit up a cold, rainy night in N5 with a sparkling performance. But just a few weeks later, an ankle injury left our hot prospect out of action until March. <\/p>\n It was worth the wait to see Max back in action though, as he returned in sensational style against Everton. With the score goalless, Max hooked a delicious ball to the back post, which Piero Hincapie put back across goal for Gyokeres to tap home in the 89th minute. <\/p>\n That wasn’t to be the end of Max’s magic that night, as the teenager then took the ball from one penalty area to the other to double our lead in stoppage time, creating one of the most memorable celebrations Emirates Stadium has seen. <\/p>\n In his first season as a nominee, Max joins five other standout young players from this Premier League season on the shortlist. Manchester City duo Nico O’Reilly and Rayan Cherki feature, as does rival Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. <\/p>\n Liverpool’s Rio Ngumoha is nominated, as is Eli Junior Kroupi, who scored for Bournemouth against Manchester City in the 1-1 draw which ultimately secured us the league title. <\/p>\n The winners of the various PFA Awards will be announced at a special ceremony in Manchester on Tuesday, August 25.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
