If the first two contenders are players who have been important since the start of the season: namely the Parisian Bradley Barcola – already distinguished in September – and the Lille Lucas Chevalier, who works miracles in his cage, the third name is less expected.
This is the Stéphanois Zuriko Davitashvili, who obviously did not steal his designation. “With three goals scored in October, the Georgian international distinguished himself with his speed and precision in finishing. His rapid progress makes him a serious candidate for the title,” summarizes the UNFP.
AS Saint-Etienne has seen one of its players win the UNFP player of the month trophy 12 times since the creation of the distinction in 2003. The last Green to have inherited it is none other than Wahbi Khazri, in November 2018.
