Riyad Mahrez nominated for January Premier League award alongside Manchester United and Arsenal stars

Manchester City’s in-form forward Riyad Mahrez has been nominated for the January Premier League Player of the Month award.

The Algeria international has been in stellar form since Manchester City returned to action following the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, delivering in almost all of their top-flight games through goals and assists.

In January alone, Mahrez provided a total of three goals and two assists across just four appearances in the Premier League, featuring a brace in the dramatic 4-2 win over Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium.

That sensational form – which Riyad Mahrez often replicates during the winter months – has now been recognised by the Premier League themselves, as the City winger has been nominated for their January Player of the Month award.

Premier League Player of the Month, January nominees:

• Riyad Mahrez, Manchester City
• Dan Burn, Newcastle United
• Brennan Johnson, Nottingham Forest
• Solly March, Brighton & Hove Albion
• David Raya, Brentford
• Marcus Rashford, Manchester United
• Bukayo Saka, Arsenal

Riyad Mahrez and Manchester City now take a short break from Premier League action this week as they continue their pursuit of taking home just a second FA Cup trophy during the Pep Guardiola era at the club.

The fourth round comes next for the reigning Premier League champions, with their English top-flight title rivals Arsenal visiting the Etihad Stadium in Friday night’s clash between the two heavyweight.s
