Nigeria
and Stoke City forward Victor Moses is top of a list of nominees for
the English Premier League African Player for September.
In a statement by organisers New African Soccer,
the other nominees are Diafra Sakho (Senegal/West Ham), Victor Wanyama
(Kenya/Southampton) and Mohamed Diame (Senegal/Hull City).
The winner of the September award will be announced on Friday.
Stoke City’s Chelsea loanee Moses put in
some excellent performances in the course of September, impressing
against QPR and setting up the winning goal by Peter Crouch against
Newcastle recently.
His overall play and commitment have attracted very positive comments from his manager Mark Hughes and teammates.
Senegalese Diafra Sakho, who plays as striker for West Ham, has brought something different into the London club.
Having made a debut late in August,
Sakho settled down and has struck a decent partnership with fellow
striker Valencia at Upton Park. Sakho has scored in each of his team’s
three league games in September, including an audacious chip over
Liverpool goalie Mignolet in a 3-1 win.
Becoming the first Kenyan to play in the
Premier League seems to spur Victor Wanyama on, and he has been pivotal
to the enviable second position that Southampton occupies in the
Premier League.
