Anthony Nwakaeme’s two goals in three matches did not go unnoticed by the jurists, and the Hapoel Ra’anana striker is one of the four players in the Israeli Premier League nominated for the Player of the Month Award for October.

One.co.il has picked him alongside Eran Zahavi (Maccabi Tel Aviv), Maor Bar Buzaglo (Hapoel Beer Sheva) and Central African Republic international David Manga, who plies his trade for Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona.

Readers and a special committee of the celebrated Israeli website will determine the most worthy candidate to be named the most outstanding player in the top division this past month.

In a recent poll conducted by the same website, Anthony Nwakeme was rated among the top nine footballers in Israel.

The 25 - year - old has started and completed every single game contested by Hapoel Ra’anana in the championship so far this season.
