The German veteran’s red-hot scoring streak and vital leadership at Brighton make him a frontrunner for Player of the Month honors against a stacked field of nominees.
Should Gross win it?
Pascal Groß has had a resurgence in his name this season after re-signing for Brighton back in January.
The German has scored in each of his last three games in all competitions, including well taken goals against both Arsenal and Coventry City.
He has now been nominated for the Premier League’s player of the month, alongside fellow teammate Babis Kostoulas.
Who else deserves the award?
The rest of the nominees are as follows: Mohamed Belloumi (Hull City), Jayden Bogle (Leeds United), Alexander Isak (Liverpool), Jeremy Jaquet (Liverpool), Kevin Schade (Brentford), Antoine Semenyo (Man City).
Groß will be up there as a favourite to win the award, despite strong starts to the season from all the other names mentioned.
Belloumi has helped Hull over-perform in their start to the season, while Isak has finally found his feet at the Reds.
How good actually is Pascal Groß?
The difference with Groß isn’t just his goals, otherwise we’d be looking at Kostoulas who has had an equally impressive goalscoring return so far.
The veteran has captained the Seagulls already during the season, including during the impressive 3-0 win over Arsenal last weekend.
Deserved recognition, finally, for Groß… but it still feels slightly too little too late when considering the unbelievable premier league career that he has had!
51 Premier League assists, 251 Premier League appearances, two club Player of the Season awards, and one of the highest chance creators since his initial arrival to the league in 2017. Staggering.
