Sporting Lagos have announced a four-man shortlist for their Player of the Month award for October, the club confirmed via their official X handle on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The nominees are Victor Clifford, Jacob Aondona, Aliyu Baba and Gafar Olaniyan.<\/p>\n

The quartet were instrumental for the Tech Boys in a month that saw the Lagos side stabilize in the NPFL after a mixed September.<\/p>\n

In their fixtures in October, Sporting Lagos recorded two wins and one draw.<\/p>\n

Clifford has been a constant engine in the middle, dictating play and providing the assist for the winner against Plateau United and Aondona has been in red-hot form in front of goal, scoring twice in October including a crucial equalizer against Kano Pillars.<\/p>\n

On his part Baba has been unplayable on the flank, creating the most chances for Sporting Lagos last month while Olaniyan has been a defensive rock.<\/p>\n

Fans will vote for their favourite via the club\u2019s official X poll and website, with the winner set to be announced ahead of their Matchday 12 clash this weekend.<\/p>\n

Last month, defender Sodiq Ayoade Yusuf won the September award after featuring in every match for Sporting Lagos.<\/p>\n
