Chukwuemeka is nominated for the award alongside five other players.
The 19-year-old scored his maiden goal for the Blues’ senior squad in the Premier League clash at the London Stadium.
Chelsea lost the game 3-1 to their London rivals but Chukwuemeka’s superb strike was the major highlight of the game.
The Nigerian-born midfielder wriggled through the home side’s defence before firing the ball into the net. READ ALSO:
