Hugo Ekitike and Dominik Szoboszlai have both been nominated for the August 2025 EA SPORTS Player of the Month award after helping Liverpool make a perfect start to the new Premier League season.
Summer signing Hugo Ekitike has wasted no time in making his mark at Anfield. The French striker has been directly involved in three goals across his first three matches, scoring twice and adding an assist.
He found the net and created another on his debut against Bournemouth, before striking again in the away win at Newcastle United. His early form has been key to Liverpool’s 100 per cent record.
Dominik Szoboszlai has also been recognised after producing a series of standout performances in an unfamiliar right-back role. The Hungarian played a crucial part in the late win at Newcastle with a brilliant dummy in the build-up to Liverpool’s stoppage-time goal.
He then stole the headlines against Arsenal, scoring what many are calling one of the best free-kicks in Premier League history. Alongside his attacking quality, Szoboszlai showed defensive grit, winning seven tackles in August, a total bettered by only two players across the league.
Ekitike and Szoboszlai are among eight nominees, with Riccardo Calafiori, Jack Grealish, Marc Guehi, Erling Haaland, Joao Pedro, and Antoine Semenyo also on the shortlist.
The winner will be announced on Friday 12 September, after public votes are combined with those of a panel of football experts.
