Fulham winger Samuel Chukwueze is among twelve players nominated for the club’s January Goal of the Month award, following his impactful strike in the Premier League fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The goal, which secured a 2-1 victory for Fulham, arrived in the 72nd minute. Chukwueze collected a pass from defender Joachim Andersen and converted from a tight angle to score the equaliser at the time. The effort showcased his pace and composure during a swift counterattack. It was the Nigeria international’s fifth goal for Fulham since his transfer from Villarreal in the summer of 2023. Alongside his goalscoring, the 26-year-old has contributed two assists for Marco Silva’s side this season, underlining his growing influence.
The shortlist for the monthly award was compiled from all goals scored by Fulham players in competitive matches throughout January. Chukwueze’s nominee stands out for its technical execution and the critical juncture of the match in which it occurred. The winner will be determined solely by a fan vote, a standard process for the club’s end-of-month honours.
This nomination highlights Chukwueze’s consistent threat on the wing for the Cottagers, who are navigating a mid-table Premier League campaign. His ability to create and finish chances has become a key component of Fulham’s attacking options. The Goal of the Month accolade often serves as a season-long highlight for players and supporters, celebrating moments of individual brilliance within the team’s collective efforts.
Voting for the January award is open via Fulham’s official digital platforms. The winner will be announced later this month, with the recognition typically featured across the club’s media channels. For Chukwueze, the nomination adds to his tally of notable performances in English football, further establishing his contribution since his arrival from Spain. The outcome of the fan vote will determine if his strike against Brighton is singled out as the club’s finest of the month.
