African players abroad PREMIER LEAGUE : SAKA NOMINATED FOR ARSENAL PLAYER OF MONTH AWARD AGAIN

Versatile Bukayo Saka has once again made the shortlist for the Player of the Month Award for January at Arsenal.

Saka, who has roots in Ghana, has earned the nomination alongside Alexander Lacazette, Emile Smith, Kieran Tierney and Rob Holding.

The fans for the Gunners can vote by visiting the club’s website. Saka won the award last month.

The Gunners say Saka has been recognized for his overall contribution to the team.

The England international scored three times – against West Brom, Newcastle and Southampton – and also set up Lacazette’s goal at St Mary’s,” Arsenal website reads.

The Gunners say Lacazette also performed “admirably up front and scored twice in our victory at West Bromwich Albion, as well as netting against Southampton. The French forward also claimed two assists over the course of the month.”

Emile Smith Rowe has made such a positive impression since coming into the team – so does he deserve your vote? The attacking midfielder claimed two assists at West Brom, another one against Newcastle, and also netted against the Magpies in the Emirates FA Cup,” the website says.

“Have Rob Holding’s rock-solid performances at the back done enough to get the nod from you? The centre back has been in imperious form and helped us to four clean sheets in the Premier League in January – as well as signing a new long-term contract.

“Our final contender is Kieran Tierney, who has proven central to our good form with a series of outstanding performances – as well as scoring a stunning strike against West Brom, and claiming two assists over the course of January.”
