Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson has been voted the Premier League fans' Player of the Month for October, the PFA Select Car Leasing award chosen by supporters.

Jackson scored four goals in four league matches in October and has six goals in his last six Premier League games, making him his club's top scorer and the third-highest scorer in the league.

He beat a shortlist that included Arsenal's Declan Rice, Brighton's Bart Verbruggen and Bournemouth's Evanilson, according to the Senegalese sports site wiwsport.

The former Chelsea forward succeeds Pascal Gross, who won the award for September.
