Brentford striker Igor Thiago has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for January 2026, with the managerial award going to Manchester United newcomer Michael Carrick.
Friday was a good day for the Brazilian striker, who signed a new five-year contract hours before being named January’s winner. Five goals across the month meant he forced himself to the top of the pile and can now add another trophy to the one won back in November.
