Harry Kane on shortlist for Premier League Player of the Month for December
Last Updated: 05/01/18 1:51pm

Harry Kane is among the nominees for the December Premier League Player of the Month award, after the Tottenham striker ended 2017 in record-breaking style.

Marcos Alonso, Marko Arnautovic, Roberto Firmino, Jesse Lingard, Riyad Mahrez, Nicolas Otamendi and Mohamed Salah are also on the shortlist.

Kane broke Alan Shearer's longstanding record for the most Premier League goals in a calendar year and finished ahead of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the leading goalscorer in Europe's top-five leagues.

The England international is the Premier League's top scorer this season with 18 goals, eight of which came during December, including successive hat-tricks against Burnley and Southampton.

Liverpool duo Firmino and Salah, who was named African Player of the Year, have been vital to Liverpool's unbeaten seven-match streak during December as Jurgen Klopp's side sit inside the top four.

Lingard and Arnautovic both enjoyed a rich rein of form as the attacking pair scored five goals for Manchester United and West Ham respectively, while Mahrez impressed for Claude Puel's Leicester with three goals.

Alonso helped Antonio Conte's Chelsea to four league clean sheets and the wing-back scored two goals, against Southampton and Brighton respectively, while Argentina international Otamendi continued his progress under Pep Guardiola with four clean sheets and two goals.

The winner of the award will be announced on January 12.

Everton boss Sam Allardyce is one of six Premier League bosses to be nominated for the December Manager of the Month award.

Allardyce has been nominated after a successful first month with the Toffees following his appointment at the end of November.

Everton moved clear of the relegation battle under the former England boss after taking 12 points from the month, which included draws against Chelsea and local rivals Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola has the opportunity to win the award for the fourth consecutive month after guiding Manchester City to six wins and one draw in December.

City hold a 15-point lead over their nearest rivals, Manchester United, at the top of the Premier League table after another unbeaten month in the Premier League.

Liverpool have also navigated the month without a single defeat. The Reds took four wins and three draws from their seven games to earn Jurgen Klopp a place among the contenders.

Antonio Conte has also been nominated after leading Chelsea to 16 points out of a possible 21 in December - the Blues suffering just one defeat against London rivals West Ham.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is among the six managers vying for the title after guiding Spurs to 13 points out of 18 in the month.

Roy Hodgson completes the line-up of nominees after guiding Crystal Palace out of the relegation zone with 10 points out of a possible 21 in December, including a commendable goalless draw against Premier League leaders Manchester City on New Year's Eve.

The winner of the award will be announced on January 12.
