Schalke 04's Harit named Bundesliga Player of the Month

Schalke 04 midfielder Amine Harit has won the Bundesliga Player of the Month award for September.

Last month came as a revival for Harit, who ended his nine-month goal drought in the German top-flight with four goals and two assists in three matches.

The 22-year-old helped Schalke 04 see off Paderborn with a brace in their 5-1 win on September 15 and then grabbed a goal in each of their victories against Mainz 05 and RB Leipzig.

Harit, who was named the Bundesliga Rookie of the Year for the 2017-18 season, defeated Bayern Munich trio Phillipe Coutinho, Joshua Kimmich and Robert Lewandowski, Borussia Monchengladbach's Stefan Lainer and Freiburg left-back Christian Gunter to win the monthly gong.

He is presently enjoying his best goal return in Germany, with four goals in seven matches and he will be hoping to maintain his inspiring form when Schalke 04 visit Hoffenheim on Sunday.
