PFA Fans' Player of the Month: Moses, Anichebe nominated

By Akeem Lawal
NIGERIAN duo of Victor Moses and Victor Anichebe have been nominated for the Premier League PFA Fans’ Player of the Month for November.


The six-man shortlist announced by Skysports.com on Tuesday also includes in-form Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, Swansea star Gylfi Sigurdsson, West Brom winger Matt Phillips and Watford's Nordin Amrabat.

The shortlist was chosen by Sky Sports expert panel, which included pundits Paul Merson, Peter Beagrie, Mike Riley, general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials, and Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters' Federation.

The winner will be announced at 10am on Wednesday. 

Moses has flourished in a new wing-back role in Chelsea’s successful 3-4-3 formation which has seen the Blues climb to the top of the Premier League.

The 25 year old won the back-to-back man of the match awards against Middlesbrough and Tottenham Hotspur, while also scoring in the 2-1 victory over Spurs. 

Anichebe on the other hand proved instrumental as he helped the Sunderland pick up two vital Premier League victories against relegation rivals Bournemouth and Hull City in November.

The big Nigerian centre-forward, who has finally got himself to full fitness after his summer move to Wearside on a free transfer after the window had shut, scored three goals in those two games and also played 90 minutes in Black Cats’ 2-1 defeat to Liverpool on Saturday.

PFA Fans’ Player of the Month (November):
Victor Anichebe (Sunderland)
Victor Moses (Chelsea)
Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
Gylfi Sigurdsson (Swansea City)
Matt Phillips (WBA)
Nordin Amrabat (Watford)
