The 19-year-old made Marcelo Bielsa's first team bench for the first time for the Premier League clash at home to Manchester United.

The April award will be decided by a panel of judges and Summerville is up against Danny Cashman (Brighton), Josh Hawkes (Sunderland), Dilan Markanday (Tottenham), Daniel Oyegoke (Arsenal) and Cole Palmer (Man City).

Summerville was signed from Feyenoord last summer and has netted six goals in 12 games for United's under-23s, including a hat-trick against Burnley.
