The nominees for Ligue 1’s February Player of the Month award have been revealed, with Achraf Hakimi, Amine Gouiri, and Ousmane Dembélé in contention for the prestigious accolade.
The trio delivered standout performances throughout the month, making significant contributions to their respective teams.
Gouiri’s immediate impact at Marseille
Since arriving at Olympique de Marseille from Stade Rennais on January 31, 2025, Amine Gouiri has wasted no time proving his worth.
The Algerian forward has revitalized Marseille’s attack, delivering two goals and three assists in just four league matches.
His creative play and finishing ability have quickly made him a key player under Gennaro Gattuso, earning praise from fans and analysts alike.
Gouiri’s influence has been crucial in Marseille’s push for a Champions League spot, with his link-up play and attacking versatility adding a new dimension to the team’s offensive approach.
If he secures the award, it would mark an impressive milestone in his early days at the club.
Hakimi’s consistency for PSG
Achraf Hakimi continues to establish himself as one of Paris Saint-Germain’s most reliable performers.
The Moroccan right-back showcased his attacking instincts throughout February, scoring twice in three league games, including a decisive brace in PSG’s 3-2 victory over Olympique Lyonnais.
Renowned for his pace, defensive solidity, and ability to contribute offensively, Hakimi has once again demonstrated why he remains a vital figure in Luis Enrique’s squad.
His nomination reflects his consistency and importance to PSG’s push for another Ligue 1 title.
Dembélé’s scintillating form
The third nominee, Ousmane Dembélé, has been in exceptional form since the start of the year.
The French winger has taken his game to another level, delivering six goals in five February appearances, including a brace and an eye-catching hat-trick.
His blistering pace and ability to create and convert chances have made him PSG’s standout performer over the past month.
Having already won the January Player of the Month award, Dembélé is aiming for back-to-back honors, which would further cement his dominance in the league this season.
Tight competition for the award
With all three players delivering exceptional performances in February, the race for Ligue 1’s Player of the Month award is wide open.
Gouiri’s instant impact, Hakimi’s consistency, and Dembélé’s goal-scoring heroics make for an exciting battle, with the final winner set to be determined by a combination of expert votes and fan polling.
As the voting unfolds, the decision will come down to whether fans and analysts favor Gouiri’s immediate influence at Marseille, Hakimi’s defensive and attacking prowess, or Dembélé’s prolific goal-scoring form.
The winner will be announced in the coming days.
