Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé expressed his delight at being voted the club's Player of the Month for September.

In a fan poll, the French striker edged out Dani Carvajal, Rodrygo, Éder Militão, and Vinícius Júnior.

"I am very happy and grateful to the Real Madrid fans. It’s an honour to be named Player of the Month. The most important thing is to keep winning matches in the coming month so I have the opportunity to receive this award again.

We have three very important matches ahead of us, and we want victories in all of them. The team and I are ready, and I hope we can make all the Madridistas proud," Mbappé was quoted as saying by Real Madrid's press office.

Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid as a free agent last summer. In the past month, the 25-year-old forward scored six goals and provided one assist in five matches for Los Blancos.

In the upcoming La Liga match, Real Madrid will face Celta Vigo away on 19th October.
