The Premier League awarded Igor Thiago, Brentford's forward, the Player of the Month award for January after a stunning performance that caught attention once again this season.

During the past month, Thiago scored 5 goals, including one hat-trick, from 17 shots with 10 on target, and also contributed to creating 3 real chances for his teammates.

This achievement made him the first Brazilian player to win the award more than once in the same season in Premier League history.

Thiago holds the second place in the Premier League top scorers' race with 17 goals, behind the Norwegian Erling Haaland, Manchester City's forward, who leads with 22 goals.

Thiago's outstanding performance places him among the top stars of the English Premier League, after previously not getting enough opportunities due to the presence of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa.
