Manchester City trio, Kevin De Bruyne, Lauren Hemp and Georgia Stanway have all been nominated for the PFA Vertu Motors Championship Fans’ Player of the Month for January, it has been confirmed.
The 30-year-old has been a key driving force for the Premier League leaders in their quest for a third league title in four seasons, as Pep Guardiola’s men maintained their footing on the title race with crucial wins over Arsenal and Chelsea.
Others on the list are Jack Harrison of Leeds United, Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool, James Ward-Prowse of Southampton, Jarrod Bowen of West Ham United and Joao Moutinho of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
De Bruyne made the difference for the Sky Blues in their pivotal 1-0 victory against Chelsea, who beat the Premier League champions thrice in quick succession towards the end of the previous campaign.
Moreover, the Belgium international was heavily involved in the build-up to Rodri’s last-gasp winner against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on New Year’s Day, highlighting his importance to the runaway league leaders in crunch games.
Having registered seven goals and six assists in 26 appearances across all competitions since the start of the season, De Bruyne has been right up there with the likes of Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo as one of Manchester City’s most important players this campaign.
De Bruyne also starred recently in Manchester City’s FA Cup fourth-round victory over Fulham, as he set up John Stones in the first-half before teeing up Riyad Mahrez just ahead of the hour-mark.
After enjoying an impressive start to the calendar year, the playmaker has been nominated for the PFA Vertu Motors Championship Fans’ Player of the Month.
