Piero Hincapie has been voted by our supporters as our men’s Player of the Month for April!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having picked up the award in February for the first time, the Ecuadorian repeated the trick in April, amassing over 60% of the votes.<\/p>\n

Piero showed off his abilities to help us secure crucial clean sheets against Sporting CP in the Champions League quarter-final and against Newcastle United in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Ebere Eze’s stunning strike against Newcastle saw him also nominated for the award, finishing in second place ahead of Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres.<\/p>\n

Our number 10 picked up the award last month, his second of the season, putting him level with Piero for the player with the highest number of POTM prizes in 2025\/26. Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel, Leandro Trossard and Viktor Gyokeres are all on one award.<\/p>\n

Press play on the video above now to see just how good our Ecuadorian was in April!<\/p>\n
