Etihad Player of the Month: February nominees revealed | OneFootball

Erling Haaland, Abdukodir Khusanov and Josko Gvardiol are all up for the Etihad Player of the Month award for February.

The polls are now open, so who will you choose as your winner?

Phil Foden took the honours last month, beating Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.

And one of that trio is up again as we look at the three contenders for February...

ERLING HAALAND

Four games, four goals and one assist for our prolific No.9, Erling Haaland will be looking to go one better than his second-place poll finish in January.

Haaland started February with a fine headed goal in our heavy loss to Arsenal, before being rested for the FA Cup tie with Leyton Orient.

He was back for the Champions League play-off clash with Real Madrid, scoring twice in a 3-2 loss at the Etihad.

Erling led the team out for the first time a few days later, and was superb in the 4-0 win over Newcastle, assisting James McAtee's late goal.

He jarred his knee in that game and missed our next two matches against Real Madrid and Liverpool, but was back for the midweek 1-0 win over Spurs, bagging the only goal of the game in another masterful display at leading the line.

Will our Norwegian superstar get your vote?

Abdukodir Khusanov

Have Manchester City unearthed another gem of a defender?

His first full month in sky blue suggests our Uzbek youngster is going to be something of a cult hero for City fans - but can he cap off a fantastic February by winning this poll?

After an understandably nervy start on his debut against Chelsea, the 20-year-old hasn't looked back with a series of composed and committed displays.

His second appearance for the Blues saw him glance home Rico Lewis' shot against Leyton Orient to level the scores at Brisbane Road.

And his next appearance was against Newcastle United where he was outstanding, keeping in-form Alexander Isak and the dangerous Anthony Gordon quiet throughout as City thrashed the Magpies 4-0 at the Etihad.

With a mixture of intelligent defending, speed and determination, Khusanov announced his arrival as a star of the future in style.

The youngster was then played at right-back away to Real Madrid and was up against Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe and though the Blues lost 3-1, Khusanov defended stoically in difficult conditions.

And his baptism of fire didn't end there!

Next, he was up against Mo Salah in the 2-0 loss to Liverpool, but gave an impressive display and looked confident and composed throughout.

Khusanov ended February with a stellar display in the 1-0 win away to Spurs and will have a legion of new admirers behind him in his first Etihad Player of the Month poll.

JOSKO GVARDIOL

Josko Gvardiol continued his impressive start to 2025 throughout February.

Our talented Croatian defender was involved in a couple of clean sheets in our Premier League wins over Newcastle and Spurs and was a constant threat going forward.

Gvardiol set up Haaland's first goal against Real Madrid at the Etihad and provided several big chances for his team-mates during another productive month.

Will Josko get your vote?

The polls - now open - close at 18:00 (UK) on Thursday 6 February.
