Toko Ekambi named LaLiga Santander Player of the Month for October

Villarreal CF sharpshooter Toko Ekambi has landed the LaLiga Santander Player of the Month award for October. The Cameroonian hitman found the net three times over the course of the past month, with his goalscoring exploits helping the Yellow Submarine to two league victories.

The Villarreal frontman struck the winner in his side's 1-0 away triumph over RCD Espanyol, before bagging a brace in the home success over D. Alaves, which represented the team's second win of the month. With five league goals to his name so far this term, Ekambi sits second in the Castellon outfit's scoring charts, behind Gerard Moreno. Meanwhile, he also occupies second spot in the team's assist rankings after having laid on two goals.

Ekambi will collect the award in front of the Estadio de la Ceramica faithful, before his side's meeting with RC Celta on Sunday 24 November (18:30 CET kick-off).
