Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn nominated for Player of the Month award

The Scot has been one of Villa's top performers so far this season, scoring three times in seven league appearances.

The 24-year-old scored in the 2-2 draw with Burnley last weekend, as well as during the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal, whilst also playing a key role in Villa's other game in September, the 0-0 draw with West Ham.

He joins seven other players in the running for the award.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, Heung-Min Son, Ricardo Pereira and Callum Wilson are all nominated alongside the midfielder.
