Nicolas Jackson has been named the EA SPORTS Premier League Player of the Month for October 2026 following an outstanding run of performances for Aston Villa.
The Senegalese international enjoyed a prolific month, scoring four goals in four Premier League appearances. His impressive performances included a match-winning brace in Aston Villa’s memorable 2-1 victory over Manchester City, alongside goals against Brentford and Fulham.
Jackson becomes the first Aston Villa player to win the award since Christian Benteke in April 2015. He is also the fourth Senegalese player to receive the prestigious recognition, joining the likes of Sadio Mané.
The 25-year-old has made an impressive impact since joining Aston Villa from Chelsea and continues to establish himself as an important figure in Unai Emery’s attacking setup.
Jackson has been in fantastic form since he completed his permanent move from Chelsea to Aston Villa. His form has also turned out well for Unai Emery and his team.
However, Villa fans will hope that he continues in such form when they return from the international break
