02 Player Of The Month- February

Eduardo has been chosen by the fans as their Player of the Month for February. The Croatian striker's season was cut short in horrific circumstances when he broke his left fibula and suffered an open dislocation of his ankle in the opening minutes of the game at Birmingham. But prior to that Eduardo did enough to show that, when he returns, Arsenal can expect plenty more goals from their summer signing.

Eduardo's finest moments of February came right at the start of the month. The 25-year-old was exceptional against Manchester City, combining well with Emmanuel Adebayor and scoring a fine goal with an overhead kick in Arsenal's 3-1 win. Eduardo followed that display with starts against Blackburn, Manchester United and Milan before that fateful trip to St. Andrews.

This is the second time Eduardo has scooped our Player of the Month award and, on this occasion, he polled 36.4 per cent of the votes. Adebayor, our January winner, was second with 18.4 per cent while Mathieu Flamini was third with 11.4 per cent.

O2 Player Of The Month- January

Ten goals in seven games is quite a return. Therefore it is little surprise that Emmanuel Adebayor has been chosen by the fans as their Player of the Month for January.

With the Africa Cup of Nations taking place this month, the Togo striker's availability this month may well have been limited. However Africa's loss is Arsenal's gain. Arsenal's year was just 20 minutes old when Adebayor registered his first goal. That came against West Ham United on New Year's Day. Since then he has fired a brace of goals against Fulham and Newcastle, as well as single strikes against the Kevin Keegan's men again, Birmingham and Tottenham.

It is the first time the Arsenal man has won the award and he has done it by a landslide, polling a massive 71.4 per cent of the vote. French midfielder Mathieu Flamini finished second in our January poll, earning plaudits for his consistency as well as the sumptuos strike against the Magpies in the Premier League. Gael Clichy, again excellent at left back, was third.
