The Canaries ace has been so impressive in the Championship that Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with his signature.
Norwich City are having a superb season, sitting top of the Championship table, five points clear of third-placed Leeds United with eight games to go.
With the team firing on all cylinders, individual players have also been singled out for award nominations, such as Teemu Pukki being named in the running for Championship Player of the Year.
Meanwhile, his Canaries teammate Max Aarons is in contention for the EFL Young Player of the Year award after a “groundbreaking” first season in senior football, having only moved up from the Under-23s over the summer.
Since making his first league start for Norwich in arguably the hardest possible setting, the 1-1 draw at bitter East Anglian rivals Ipswich Town in September, the 19-year-old has started every one of City’s last 35 league matches.
Such has been his rise that Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the teenage full-back, The Sun recently claiming that Spurs are “extremely interested” in him.
Aarons is up against Luton Town’s Justin James and Liverpool’s Harry Wilson, who has been on loan at Derby County, and the winner will be announced on the evening of the awards night, taking place on Sunday 7 April at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane in London.
As the award sponsor, EA Sports are hosting an online vote, already live, which will amount to 25 percent of the overall result, with the other 75 percent made up of votes from the EFL Awards judging panel.
Norwich announced the news on their official website and on their social media channels:
