Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has been named the PFA Fans' Player of the Month after a brilliant December saw him help the Gunners to four wins and a draw in six matches.
With the likes of Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta all missing games, the Spaniard was a key performer for Arsene Wenger as they secured impressive victories against Newcastle and West Ham and drew with Liverpool.
Cazorla won the award, powered by the football platform 90min, scored four goals in December and also provided an assist at Anfield, putting in a man of the match performance in the impressive 4-1 win over Newcastle.
Currently sixth in the Premier League despite an impressive run of results, Arsenal will host Stoke City - who inflicted their only defeat of the month at the Britannia Stadium - on Sunday.
