Ademola Lookman is in the running for Leicester City Goal of the Month award for December.
Lookman’s superb goals against Liverpool and Manchester City are nominated alongside eight others by the club.
Patson Daka, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes, Youri Tielemans, Ethan Fitzhugh, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Leicester City Women’s Sophie Howard are also in the running for the individual prize.
“After a goal-packed month, the Blue Army are once again tasked with selecting their favourite strike, this time during the festive period,” a statement from Leicester City website read.
“In-form midfielder James Maddison twice makes the shortlist, as does forward Ademola Lookman, while Harvey Barnes, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Patson Daka and Youri Tielemans make up the men’s first team contributions.
“Elsewhere, Development Squad youngster Ethan Fitzhugh is also in contention, as is Sophie Howard for her excellent curling effort versus Birmingham City Women.”
