The Danish frontman, who has scored nine goal in all competitions this season, is up for the award following his stunning late strike in March's 2-1 win against Manchester United in March.

The 22-year-old completed a brilliant solo effort for the ten-man Magpies, surging down the right flank before cutting inside to curl a magnificent clincher past goalkeeper Senne Lammens in front of the Gallowgate End.

Osula is named in a ten-man shortlist for the prize, which includes Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai, Martin Zubimendi of Arsenal, Aston Villa's Emiliano Buendía, Tyler Adams of AFC Bournemouth, Fulham pair Harry Wilson and Harrison Reed, Dominic Solanke of Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion's Kaoru Mitoma and Valentín Castellanos of West Ham United.

Supporters can vote for Osula here, with voting closing at 12pm [BST] on Wednesday 27 May, with the winner being announced later next week.
