Nigerian youngster Ademola Ola-Adebomi has been named the PL2 Player of the Month for November 2023, topping an eight-man shortlist that was selected by the Premier League’s Football Development Panel.
The 20-year-old Crystal Palace centre-forward claims the award after scoring a hat-trick in a 7-1 win over Leeds United, netting three times between the 29th and 55th minutes, as the Eagles rose from 16th to 12th in the PL2 table.
Palace’s young stars are yet to hit the heights of last season’s fourth-place finish, but this hasn’t slowed down Ola-Adebomi, whose seven PL2 goals this season put him third in the rankings, only one behind his tally for the whole of the 2022/23 season.
Ola-Adebomi joined Palace at the age of eight and has steadily climbed the ranks. This season he has also featured in Premier League and EFL Cup matchday squads.
