Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has been nominated for the Premier League’s Player of the Month award for November, with voting open now.
The Premier League have revealed their nominees for the November Player of the Month award, with Arsenal’s Declan Rice making the shortlist.
Rice features alongside Harvey Barnes of Newcastle United, Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall of Everton, Jeremy Doku of Manchester City, Morgan Gibbs-White of Nottingham Forest, Reece James of Chelsea, and Igor Thiago of Brentford.
You can submit your vote here until 12:00 GMT on Monday, December 8th, at which point the public vote will be combined with the choices from a panel of experts to determine the winner.
Thiago is certainly one of the favourites, having scored five goals in his four games for Brentford. Fernandes providing four assists in four matches will also make him a contender, especially considering the likely size of the Manchester United fan vote compared to Brentford’s.
But Rice had a great month too, kicking things off with a goal in an away win over Burnley, assisting a goal against Tottenham Hotspur, and proving one of Arsenal’s best performers in the other two draws.
It’s a shame European performances aren’t considered, given Rice’s assist against Slavia Praha and his Player of the Match performance against Bayern Munich.
All in all, it was an excellent November for Arsenal’s club-record signing.
