Ollie Watkins’ scintillating form in February has earned the striker a nomination for the Premier League Player of the Month award.
The 27-year-old picked up where he left off against Southampton in January, scoring in all four games across the course of February.
Watkins kicked off the month by notching against Leicester City, reacting quickest to turn home the rebound from Emi Buendia’s shot.
A well-taken goal against Manchester City followed before he showed his class against league leaders Arsenal with a fine finish.
Watkins’ penalty in a 2-0 success against Everton to finish the month saw him become the first Villan to score in five consecutive Premier League games.
The forward is up against Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City), Berd Leno (Fulham), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Emerson Royal (Tottenham Hotspur), and Manor Soloman (Fulham) for the award.
The winner will be announced on Friday, March 10 at 11am. You can vote for Watkins to win via the link below.
Good luck, Ollie!
