Nigeria international Odion Ighalo has been named the Barclays Premier League Player for December.
It was a sweep for Ighalo’s club, Watford, as their manager, Quique Sanchez Flores, claimed the manager’s award for the same month under review.
The Hornets striker scored five times in five appearances in December.
Ighalo scored in the 2-0 win over Norwich and was fouled in the box for the penalty which Troy Deeney converted.
The Nigerian forward scored the winner in their lone goal success at Sunderland on December 12.
Five days before Christmas, Ighalo netted a double to put Liverpool to the sword in Watford’s 3-0 win at Vicarage Road.
On Boxing Day, Ighalo was involved in one of Watford’s two goals in their 2-2 draw at Chelsea when his effort was deflected in off England defender Gary Cahill.
Ighalo’s goal on December 28 against Tottenham Hotspur, however, could not prevent his side from slipping to a 1-2 home loss.
The former Granada CF and Udinese man has scored 13 goals for Watford in 21 league matches this season, and is available for selection when they make the trip to struggling Swansea City on Monday.
