Sevilla’s Moroccan international Youssef En-Nesyri has been named the best player in the Spanish football league for the month of April.

The 25-year-old striker was the most outstanding player of the competition, scoring three goals – against Cadiz, Celta and Villarreal CF – during a tournament phase in which his team remained unbeaten, with four wins and one draw, his club Sevilla announced.

This is the second time En-Nesyri has been named Liga Santander’s MVP of the Month, an award he previously received in January 2021.

It is also the seventh time a Sevilla player has received the award since the awards were launched in September 2013.

The first to do so was Ivan Rakitic, in January 2014, while Vitolo won it in March 2015 and Steven Nzonzi in January 2017.

After Tomás Vaclík in November 2018 and En-Nesyri in January 2021, the last Sevillian to receive the award is Fernando Reges, in April 2021.

The Moroccan striker was chosen over his compatriot Selim Amallah, Real Valladolid midfielder Marco Asensio, Real Madrid player Antoine Griezmann of Atletico Madrid and Inaki Williams of Athletic Bilbao, Ronald Araujo central defender of Barcelona, and Lee Kanj-in of Real Mallorca
