Felix Afena-Gyan is favourite to win his first award as his stunner against Genoa has been nominated for Serie A goal of the month for November.
Gyan scored a brace against Genoa after coming on as a substitute in the 75th minute to secure AS Roma an important victory after two successive defeats in the league.
His second goal was a piece of ingenuity as he pounced on an interception from a Genoa defender and curled the ball into the right top corner from about 25 yards.
The 18-year-old is competing against Napoli forward Dries Mertens, Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Saponara and Kieta Balde of Cagliari.
Afena-Gyan missed Roma’s 0-1 defeat to Bologna in midweek due to a positive Covid test and will be absent this weekend when the Giallorossi takes on Inter.
Roma have said that Afena-Gyan is responding well to treatment.
