With the vote for the EA SPORTS Player of the Month open, we profile the eight December nominees.
Harry Kane
Kane ended December by breaking two Premier League records.
He became the first player to score back-to-back hat-tricks on two separate occasions, and in so doing finished 2017 with the most Premier League goals scored within a calendar year; 39.
Kane's month-high eight goals helped Tottenham Hotspur to a record of W4 D1 L1 as he raced ahead of Liverpool's Mohamed Salah as the competition's top scorer.
What his manager says
Mauricio Pochettino: "Nothing has changed, he was a superstar three years ago, one year ago, six months ago and one week ago. We've always treated him like a superstar.
"We've trusted in him from day one here because we felt his potential, and now he deserves the full credit for what he has achieved."
