West Ham forward Michail Antonio has been named as the Premier League Player of the Month for August after his impressive start to the domestic season. Meanwhile, Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo claimed the Manager of the Month award.
Antonio has scored four goals in West Ham’s opening three Premier League games, including a brace in his side’s 4-1 win over Leicester which saw the 31-year-old become the club’s all-time Premier League record goalscorer.
