Marc Guehi shortlisted for Manchester City February Player of the Month

Manchester City’s Marc Guehi has earned a spot among the three nominees for the Etihad Player of the Month award for February, highlighting his rapid rise since joining the club.

The English central defender transferred from Crystal Palace in January for £20 million, signing a deal until 2031. He wasted no time making his mark. Guehi debuted with a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers and scored his first City goal in a 2-0 FA Cup victory against Salford City.

In February, Guehi stood tall in crucial matches. He helped secure a hard-fought 2-1 Premier League win at Liverpool, anchoring the defense amid intense pressure. He also played a key role in the 1-0 triumph at Leeds United, contributing to another clean sheet. His stats impressed too: six games, one goal, 19 duels won, six interceptions, and a consistent 7.4 rating, with strong clearances and duel dominance.

Fans and pundits see Guehi as a vital addition to Pep Guardiola’s backline, blending leadership from his Palace captaincy with seamless integration. Alongside Gianluigi Donnarumma and Nico O’Reilly, he’s in the running for the fan-voted honor.
