Ngumoha\u2019s breakthrough campaign in the past season saw him make 29 appearances for the Reds and score twice.<\/p>\n
The first of his goals \u2013 a winner deep into stoppage time of the Premier League clash at Newcastle United last August \u2013 made him the club\u2019s youngest scorer in history.<\/p>\n
Ngumoha was then on target with his first competitive strike at Anfield when Fulham were beaten in the league in April.<\/p>\n
He is up against Rayan Cherki, Max Dowman, Junior Kroupi, Kobbie Mainoo and Nico O\u2019Reilly for the prestigious accolade.<\/p>\n
