Federico Chiesa voted Liverpool's Player of the Month in September

Federico Chiesa was voted as Liverpool's Standard Chartered Men's Player of the Month for September.

The Italian claims the prize for the first time in his Reds career after topping a supporter poll on Liverpoolfc.com.

Chiesa's displays during the period saw him receive 34 per cent of the votes, with Alisson Becker (18 per cent) and Ryan Gravenberch (also 18 per cent) finishing second and third respectively.

Collecting the trophy at the AXA Training Centre, the No.14 said: "Of course, I'm glad I won this prize. Thank you to the fans for the support and for voting for me.

"I would rather not get it in the future and win more games. But thank you again.

"The support always has been amazing. I try to give my best on the pitch for the fans and for Liverpool. I love to see that the fans actually appreciate what I'm doing."

Chiesa made a trio of appearances in September and racked up three goal involvements from them.

Starting the Carabao Cup third-round win over Southampton at Anfield, the forward provided assists for Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike to earn Carlsberg Player of the Match honours.

He then came off the bench a few days later to score in the away Premier League encounter against Crystal Palace.
