**Ainsley Maitland-Niles has been shortlisted for the Premier League’s September awards.**
Maitland-Niles sealed a £4 million switch to Hil Dickinson Staduim from Lyon on summer transfer deadline day, five years after originally pursuing a move.
The former England international’s arrival brought an end to the Blues’ search for an established right-back option following Seamus Coleman’s departure.
He marked a debut outing for David Moyes’ side in ideal fashion by striking [a stunning last-minute effort to salvage a point against Manchester United.](https://www.clickliverpool.com/sport/everton-fc/67987-everton-2-2-man-utd-three-talking-points-ainsley-maitland-niles-tyrique-george-james-garner/)
It helped extend Everton’s unbeaten start to the new campaign with a run which has now extended to seven games in all competitions last weekend.
Maitland-Niles’ piledriver has now been recognised with a nomination for the top flight’s Goal of the Month, with the strike going up against seven others.
The winner of the awards is set to be confirmed after a public vote on the Premier League’s website ending at 12pm BST on Monday, September 28.
