Newcastle United star Allan Saint-Maximin has been nominated for player of the month in the Premier League.
With two goals and two assists so far this season he has almost single-handedly dragged Newcastle out of the bottom three in the top-flight.
But he faces stiff competition from a stellar list of stars if he is to scoop the big prize.
A Premier League statement read: "Allan Saint-Maximin has been nominated for the Premier League’s EA Sports player of the month award for September.
"Saint-Maximin provided the assist for Javier Manquillo's strike against Manchester United at Old Trafford before netting the equaliser himself against Leeds at St. James’ Park, rounding off the month by laying on Sean Longstaff's effort at Watford.
"And he has been rewarded for his performances with a place on the shortlist for the monthly gong alongside five other players – Manchester City’s Joao Cancelo, Liverpool’s Mo Salah, Watford’s Ismaila Sarr, Antonio Rudiger of Chelsea and and Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United."
