SAINTS midfielder Dusan Tadic has been nominated for October's Player of the Month Award.

The Serbian faces stiff competition for the Premier League award from Sergio Aguero of Manchester City, Everton's Leighton Baines, Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal, West Brom's Saido Berahino and Diafra Sakho from West Ham United.

The £11m signing has been in sensation form for Southampton, with his haul of four assists and a goal during the team's 8-0 romp against Sunderland.

The winner of the award will be announced in the coming days.

Tadic gave an exclusive interview to the Daily Echo last week, and you can read it here.

Last month, Saints enjoyed double success in the Player and Manager of the month awards, with Graziano Pelle and Ronald Koeman winning the trophies.
