Liverpool star wins Premier League Player of the Month for January

Liverpool star Diogo Jota won the Premier League’s Player of the Month award for his spectacular form in January

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota received the Premier League’s Player of the Month award for his consistent performances in January. Jota played a crucial role for the Reds in helping them navigate through the tricky congested fixture period.

Alongside the heavy fixture, Liverpool faced an injury crisis and missing key players due to international duties during the month. The 27-year-old made a timely return from muscle injury before the month started and the new year began.

The Reds are currently at the top of the Premier League table, but Manchester City and Arsenal are closely behind. Furthermore, January had an important FA Cup and the two legs of the Carabao Cup semi-final fixtures.
