Solanke, a summer signing from Chelsea enjoyed a successful off-season where he played a starring role for England’s U20s, who lifted the World Cup.
The striker scored in both the quarter-finals and the semi-finals to help England go on and lift the trophy.
Gomez himself is highly thought of at Anfield and rejected interest from several clubs across the summer to stay and fight for his place at Liverpool.
Everton’s Dominic Calvin-Lewin, Tottenham’s Kyle Walker-Peters, Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford and Manchester City’s Jesus are among the fellow Premier League nominees.
On-loan Bayern Munich midfielder Renato Sanches won the award in 2016 after catching everybody’s eye at the Euros. A string of impressive performances earned him a big-money move to Bayern Munich, where he is yet to fulfil his potential and has since been sent out on loan to Swansea City.
