Ligue 1: Marseillais Amine Gouiri named player of February ahead of Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi

Dreamed beginnings. Transferred to Marseille from Rennes during the winter transfer window, Amine Gouiri won this Sunday the UNFP trophy of player in February in Ligue 1, a first in the career of the Olympian scorer. The revelation was made on TF1, as part of the Telefoot program.

It must be said that the 25 -year -old striker has made a strong impression since his arrival in the Canebière. Completely relaunched by Roberto de Zerbi after having had a long period of lean cows in Brittany, the native of Bourgoin-Jallieu scored two goals, on the occasion of the broad Marseille success against Saint-Étienne (5-1) on February 15. Gouiri also distinguished himself by his talent as a smuggler, distilling three offerings in total: one in his first match in the OM jersey, against Lyon (3-2), on February 2, the other two against Angers (0-2), on February 9.

Better statistics for Dembélé

Praised at 43 % by the general public, invited to vote on the UNFP site, the Algerian international (12 games, 5 goals) finished in front of Ousmane Dembélé (39 %). In very great shape, the French winger, crowned in January, has a better statistical sheet than Gouiri on February, since he has scored six times in the league. Achraf Hakimi (18 %), completes the podium. In recent weeks, the former Inter Milan distinguished himself in particular by scoring a double during the Parisian victory against OL (2-3).
