Calafiori named August's Player of the Month

Riccardo Calafiori has been voted our Player of the Month for August after a strong start to the Premier League season.

Our Italian international won 52% of the vote, beating the likes of Jurrien Timber, Martin Zubimendi and Gabriel to the opening award of 2025/26.

Riccy has started every match at left-back for us, scoring our first goal of the season and helping keep a clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Manchester United.

The versatile defender then assisted Viktor Gyokeres for his first goal in red in our 5-0 victory over Leeds United. His performances have also seen him nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award.
