Danladi\u2019s game-winning goal over Montreal Impact is also up for Goal of the Year, and you can vote on that here.<\/p>\n<p>The other two finalists named were Philadelphia Union defender Jack Elliott and Atlanta United midfielder Julian Gressel.<\/p>\n<p>Elliott started 29 games in the back for Philly, and played 2621 minutes this season. Gressel ended his rookie year with 9 assists and 5 goals for the other United.<\/p>\n<p>The award will be announced on November 8th.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/96124592.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of <b>GHANAsoccernet.com<\/b> &#8211; Ghana&#8217;s leading football news website.
