Conor Bradley has been shortlisted for the Premier League Player of the Month for January.

The Tyrone sensation has caught the eye for his performances for Liverpool in recent weeks after being given an extended run in the team due to the absence of England international Trent Alexander Arnold.

Bradley scored a goal and had two assists in Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Chelsea on January 31, his second man-of-the-match performance having played a crucial role in the Reds’ FA Cup fourth round win over Norwich City.





The Northern Ireland international, who played underage Gaelic football for Aghayaran, is illustrious company as also on the shortlist are Liverpool team-mate Diogo Jota, Arsenal’s Gabriel, Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City, Tottenham’s Richarlison and Luton Town’s Elijah Adebayo.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp - who announced last month that he was leaving the club at the end of the season - has been shortlisted for Manager of the Month alongside Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and Rob Edwards.
