Fulham and Celtic summer transfer target Sammie Szmodics missed out on the prestigious Championship Player of the Season Award this weekend, with fans of the second tier quick to claim the prolific 28-year-old had been ‘robbed’.
The Blackburn Rovers attacking midfielder has plundered 24 goals this season and is leading the race for the Championship top scorer award. Szmodics also has four assists in what has been a sparkling campaign for the breakthrough star.
It was Leeds United forward Crysencio Summerville who took home the Player of the Season award over Szmodics. The Whites man has 17 goals and eight assists in the league this season.
The news could be of significance to fans of Fulham and Celtic, as well as Luton Town and Brentford, with all the clubs said to be courting Szmodics ahead of a potential summer swoop.
Football followers were quick to voice their anger at the Blackburn Rovers man missing out on the award. Taking to X, one user wrote: “Absolute robbery! Szmodics should’ve got it!”
Another said: “I’m a Leeds fan and I’m pleased for him naturally but thought it would be Szmodics. Carried a poor team. Scored loads. Best opposition player I’ve seen at Elland Road this season.”
