Nigerian forward Monday Gift has been shortlisted for the Spanish Liga F Player of the Month award for November. This marks the first nomination for the 22-year-old UD Tenerife star, who impressed during the month with one goal and an assist.
Monday is joined by another Nigerian, Edna Imade, who had an exceptional run in November, scoring three goals for Granada.
The nominees list also features Andreia Jacinto, Arola Aparicio, Boe Risa, Patri Guijarro, and Allegra Poljak, showcasing a highly competitive race for the prestigious accolade.
This nomination comes shortly after Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade made history in September as the first recipient of the Liga F Player of the Month award. Ajibade, who plays for Atlético Madrid, set the benchmark for Nigerian players in the league.
The nomination of Monday and Imade highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in international women’s football and their exceptional performances in top European leagues. Fans eagerly await the announcement of the winner as the duo aims to continue their stellar form.
