Crystal Palace forward Ademola Ola-Adebomi has been nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award for February 2025 after a standout month with the club’s development squad.

His contributions helped the Eagles secure nine points from three games, solidifying their position in the Premier League 2 standings.
Ola-Adebomi will compete for the award against other nominees, including Logan Briggs (Leicester City), Lemar Gordon (Fulham), Divin Mubama (Manchester City), Lewis Orford (West Ham), Josh Briggs (West Ham), Jay Robinson (Southampton), and Jahmai Simpson-Pusey (Manchester City).
