His nominee comes on the back of his four goals in four appearances. Not to forget, Aubameyang played a mere 224 minutes across the four games, averaging a goal every 56 minutes.

Other nominees include Real Betis’ Nabil Fekir, who has been in exceptional form since the turn of the year. His output in the last month touched two goals and an assist, while creating nine chances.

Pau Torres of Villarreal, and Real Madrid shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois are also in the mix. With three direct goal contributions to his name, RCB Mallorca’s Vedat Muriqi has been nominated as well.

The last two players in the nominations include Elche’s Pere Milla and Athletic Club’s Dani Vivian. The winner is set to be announced next week.
