Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal has been named La Liga Player of the Month for September, Afrosport reports.

The 17-year-old claimed the award after scoring three goals and providing an assist in four La Liga matches for the Blaugrana in September.

Yamal, who was voted as best La Liga U23 player in August, defeated Kylian MbappΓ© (Real Madrid), IΓ±aki Williams (Athletic Club), Giovani Lo Celso (Real Betis) and Carlos Vicente (Deportivo AlavΓ©s) to win the accolade.

The La Masia Academy graduate scored twice in Barca’s 4-1 win against Girona before providing an assist in their 5-1 win at Viarreal.

Although he drew a blank in their 1-0 win over Getafe, he got back on the scoresheet with a goal in their shocking 4-2 defeat to Osasuna in their final league fixture in the month.

Yamal has made eight league appearances for Barca this campaign, scoring four goals and providing five assists in seven starts.
