Isaac Success Set to Help Zaha Win Premier League Player of the Month
Nigerian striker Isaac Success made an important contribution to Wilfried Zaha's nomination for the Premier League Player of the Month award for January 2023. Success scored the winning goal in Crystal Palace's 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, a match Zaha missed through injury. Success's strike helped keep Palace in the top half of the table and earned Zaha a nomination for the prestigious award.
Success's Recent Form
Success has been in impressive form for Crystal Palace this season, scoring four goals in his last six appearances. His goal against Tottenham was his third in the Premier League this season, adding to his tally of one in the FA Cup. Success's performances have helped Palace climb to ninth in the table, just three points behind sixth-placed Liverpool.
Manchester City F.C. and Arsenal F.C. Dominance
Despite Success's form, it is likely that the Premier League Player of the Month award for January will be won by a player from either Manchester City or Arsenal. Both teams have been in excellent form this season and have several players in contention for the award. Some potential contenders include Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Manchester City's Erling Haaland.
