Published: November 07, 2020

English-born central midfielder of Nigerian and Spanish descent, Miguel Azeez has been nominated for the best goal scored by an Arsenal player in the month of October, informs the Gunners on their official webpage.

Azeez's brilliant strike after 54 minutes in Arsenal's 2-1 win over Crawley Town in the EFL Trophy has made a ten-goal shortlist for the Goal of the Month.

The highly-rated teenager fired into the bottom corner from the edge of the box, scoring what proved to be the winning goal in the process and his first at U21 level for Arsenal.

Azeez's goal has been nominated alongside strikes from Nocolas Pepe and Vivianne Miedema who have both been doubled nominated, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Jordan Nobbs, Caitlin Foord, Katie McCabe and Luke Plange.

The 18-year-old has been tipped to make his first team debut this season and this could come sooner rather than later with Arsenal on the verge of qualifying for the knockout rounds of the Europa League.

Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka is a contender for Arsenal's October Player of the Month and faces competition from Hector Bellerin, Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel to win the accolade.
