Brazilian striker Endrick, currently on loan at French club Lyon, has earned the title of Player of the Month for January in Ligue 1. Under the management of Paulo Fonseca, Endrick has quickly adapted and showcased his talents without needing an adjustment period. His performance included scoring five goals and providing one assist in just six matches, which has solidified his status as a crucial player for Lyon.
In the voting for the award, Endrick received 52% of the votes, surpassing competitors Mason Greenwood, who garnered 32%, and Pavel Sulek with 16%. The young striker's exceptional achievement of scoring his first career hat-trick this month played a significant role in his selection as Player of the Month. This accolade marks his inaugural recognition in European football, highlighting a swift and impactful start to his tenure with Lyon.
Endrick's transition to Lyon came during the winter transfer window, prompted by limited playing time at Real Madrid under coach Xabi Alonso. This move has allowed him the opportunity to flourish and prove his capabilities in one of Europe's top leagues. His performance has brought excitement to Lyon's campaign and positioned him as one of the promising talents in French football for the ongoing season.
