The winner of the PFA Vertu Motors Championship Fans' Player of the Month - December
By 90min Staff
Sunderland forward Amad Diallo has won the PFA Vertu Motors Championship Fans' Player of the Month award for December.
The Ivorian has been turning a lot of heads during his loan spell from Manchester United this season, and he enjoyed a stellar month following a brief World Cup break.
Diallo opened the month with the opening goal in Sunderland's 3-0 win against Millwall at the Stadium of Light. Nine days later, he scored the Black Cats' only goal in a 2-1 loss at home to a resurgent West Brom.
The 20-year-old rounded off December with a fine performance in Sunderland's resounding 4-1 win at Wigan Athletic, scoring a superb solo goal.
Diallo took home 35% of the public vote and was the clear winner for the December award. Sheffield United midfielder James McAtee was his closest challenger with 18% of the vote.
Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres has been turning plenty of heads with his scoring exploits this season and ranked in third place for December's award with 16% of the vote, finishing just ahead of in-form Middlesbrough forward Chuba Akpom who took in 15%.
Diallo's Sunderland teammate Ross Stewart, who only recently returned from long-term injury, came fifth with 11%, while Sheffield United forward and Senegal World Cup star Iliman Ndiaye rounded off voting with 5%.
