Arsenal have announced the four nominees for their Player of the Month award for February, with Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres, Piero Hincapie, and Noni Madueke all making the cut.

Eze had a couple of encouraging starts in February, scoring a brace against Tottenham Hotspur and providing a couple of assists in the FA Cup against Wigan. With Martin Odegaard out, Mikel Arteta is relying on Eze at the moment, so it’s important he keeps stepping up.

Then Gyokeres is up for his second Player of the Month award in a row, also providing four goal contributions by scoring a brace against Sunderland and another against Spurs.

Hincapie was a rare bright spark in the disappointing results against Brentford and Wolves, providing an assist in the former and scoring in the latter. The left-back also helped the Arsenal defence to clean sheets against Sunderland and Chelsea (in the League Cup).

Finally, Madueke scored against Brentford and Wigan, keeping his own strong individual form going after a positive end to January.

Voting remains open here, with the winner to be confirmed later this month.
