POTM Nominees
Now comes the hardest part, or the easiest depending on who you support: deciding who deserves to win! There are eight players nominated for the latest Premier League Player of the Month award, so let’s find out who features below.
Facundo Buonanotte – Leicester City
It’s been a bumpy return to the Premier League for Leicester City so far, but one of the positives has been the form of Brighton loanee Facundo Buonanotte. The midfielder scored two vital goals for the Foxes in October, both of which helped secure two league wins.
Bryan Mbeumo – Brentford
Currently the second top-scorer in the league, Bryan Mbeumo continued his fine start to the season in October by bagging three goals in three games for the Bees. There’s reportedly mounting transfer interest in the Cameroon international and it’s clear to see why!
Josko Gvardiol – Manchester City
The current champions are yet to reach their full potential this season, but Pep Guardiola’s men always find a way to win even when they aren’t at their best, and Josko Gvardiol has played a key role in doing just that. The defender scored one goal, kept one clean sheet, and won eight duels throughout October.
Cole Palmer – Chelsea
This is becoming quite the norm for Cole Palmer, who is nominated to receive his second consecutive POTM award. The England international has picked up from where he left off in September, adding another goal and assist to his tally in October.
Bukayo Saka – Arsenal
An injury sustained during the previous international break meant Bukayo Saka was unable to play as much as he would’ve liked recently, but when he’s fit, Arsenal’s starboy is unstoppable. Despite missing a match, Saka finishes October with two goals and two assists to his name.
Chris Wood – Nottingham Forest
One place behind Bryan Mbuemo in the top-scorer charts is Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood, who simply cannot stop scoring. The striker bagged four goals in three Premier League appearances, making him one of the strongest contenders for the October POTM award.
Danny Welbeck – Brighton & Hove Albion
Another striker who has found impressive form in front of goal is Brighton’s Danny Welbeck, with the 33-year-old scoring three goals in three games to take his tally for the season up to six.
Matz Sels – Nottingham Forest
Last but not least is Chris Wood’s Forest teammate, Matz Sels. The goalkeeper faced 16 shots on target throughout October but only conceded twice and also kept a clean sheet while having a save percentage rate of 87.5%.
So there you have it, all of the eight nominees up for the October Premier League Player of the Month award!
