Manolo Gabbiadini has been named as the Premier League’s PFA Fans’ Player of the Month for February.
The Italian polled a superb 40 per cent of the vote following an incredible start to his time at Saints.
Gabbiadini netted three goals in his first two Premier League matches, while he also scored twice in the EFL Cup final, at Wembley, during February.
The 25-year-old has carried on that form in March, scoring his sixth goal in four starts in Saints' 4-3 win at Watford last weekend.
The £14.6m signing had been up against a stellar list of names, with Tottenham’s Harry Kane, Everton’s Romelu Lukaku, Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus, Manchester United’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan and West Brom’s Gareth McAuley all in contention.
Gabbiadini, who is the first Saints player ever to win the award since it started at the beginning of 2014/15, will be presented with his award in the coming weeks.
