In February, Phil Foden showcased his consistency by playing every minute of Manchester City’s five games and notching up an impressive four goals. Meanwhile, across town, Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund emerged as a strong contender for the award, boasting five goals and an assist in just four games.

However, the top scorer title for February went to Bukayo Saka of Arsenal, who netted six goals in four games, delivering a flawless performance for his team.

Other notable mentions include Rodrigo Muniz from Fulham, who scored four goals in just 329 minutes of play, and Ollie Watkins, whose exceptional form continued with four goals and two assists.

Joining the shortlist is Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes, who stood out in victories over Chelsea and Tottenham, leading the league in tackles. Pascal Gross of Brighton also earned recognition with four assists and a goal to his credit.

Premier League Manager of the Month shortlist – February 2024

Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
Erik ten Hag (Man Utd)
Pep Guardiola (Man City)

This month, the Manager of the Month award features just three contenders.

First up is Mikel Arteta, whose Arsenal side achieved a flawless winning record in February. The Gunners secured victories against Liverpool, West Ham United, Burnley, and Newcastle United, scoring an impressive 18 goals while conceding just twice.

Erik ten Hag earns his nomination for the second time this season. Leading Manchester United, he guided the team to three wins out of four matches, propelling them back into contention for a top-four finish. Notable victories over Aston Villa and West Ham United underscored his impact.

Completing the trio is Pep Guardiola, whose Manchester City side garnered more points than any other team in February. Despite playing five games, they accumulated 13 points, with only a 1-1 draw against Chelsea marring an otherwise faultless record.

Wolves have announced and confirmed the signing of Joao Gomes from Flamengo, subject to a work permit and international clearance.

The West Midlands team had been seeking the midfielder for the whole transfer window, and a deal looked to be on the verge of happening when Lyon entered the picture after Gomes underwent a medical at Molineux.

However, the 21-year-old was adamant about joining Wolves so he could play in the Premier League, and on Monday, they officially announced his signing after a “patient and determined procedure.”

Wolves said in a statement: “Wolves have secured the signing of highly rated Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes from Flamengo, subject to work permit and international clearance.

“After a patient and determined recruitment process, Wolves have made the 21-year-old Julen Lopetegui’s sixth acquisition of the January transfer window.

“Gomes landed in England on Sunday, before completing his introductions and medical tests, and put pen to paper on a five-and-a-half-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months, adding to the old gold’s midfield department.”

Wolves, who outbid French team Lyon to capture Gomes, have the option of extending his contract by one more year, subject to obtaining a work visa and receiving international clearance.

For his local team, he has appeared in 86 league games, scoring once, and winning the Copa Libertadores in 2022.

Gomes, who made his professional debut in November 2020, also helped Flamengo win the Brazilian Serie A league championship and domestic cup.

Since Lopetegui assumed leadership, he has joined Mario Lemina, Pablo Sarabia, Matheus Cunha, Craig Dawson, and Daniel Bentley in travelling to Molineux.

With seven points out of a possible 15, Wolves have moved up to 17th in the Premier League, outside the relegation zone on goal differential.

Welcome to the pack, @GomesOficial08!
