#3 Son Heung-Min
Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League month ended on a high note in December as they won three games and drew one out of four. Their manager, Antonio Conte, is known for making his players run a lot and the same is the case here. Spurs have run the most in the league since he took over in December. Spurs have gone unbeaten under their new manager.
Their main man Son Heung-Min is leading from the front and had a great month. In five games, he has scored four goals and added two assists (it should have been six games but two games were postponed due to Covid). He had a goal involvement in almost every game.
He scored one goal in a 2-0 win over Brentford and had one goal and an assist in a 3-0 win over Norwich City. He then scored a game-deciding goal in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool. Son also scored a goal in a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace. He played well against Southampton but couldn't score in the 1-1 draw.
Son has scored eight goals and assisted three times this season in 18 matches in the Premier League. He has risen to the occasion with striker Harry Kane not at his best and unable to score goals.
#2 Mason Mount
Mason Mount continues to show why he is one of the best young players in the Premier League. Chelsea played seven matches in December, winning three, losing one and drawing three, leaving them 10 points behind leaders Manchester City.
Mount has played every minute for Chelsea in seven league games in December. He was Chelsea's best player, with seven goal contributions with four goals and three assists.
In four consecutive games, he scored a goal. He scored goals against Watford, West Ham United, Leeds United and Everton, as well as providing assists against Watford, West Ham United and Brighton.
Mount was promoted as captain under both former manager Frank Lampard and current manager Thomas Tuchel. He has been involved in 12 Premier League goals this season. Despite being Chelsea's best player he could miss out on the award with the team not being at their best.
#1 Raheem Sterling
Manchester City's Raheem Sterling has been the subject of transfer rumours with Barcelona reportedly interested in signing him. But the player didn't get distracted and is the main candidate for the Player of the Month in December.
For the second month in a row, Man City won every league game. Sterling scored five goals and provided an assist in the five league games he has started out of seven. City scored a total of 24 goals in December
Manchester City are full of great attacking talent and Sterling is showing his manager why he should be trusted and should start every game. He just scored his 100th goal in the Premier League against Wolves.
Sterling has a total of seven goals in the Premier League this season. He had his best month in December and is the main contender for the Player of the Month award.
