The Arsenal U23 captain bagged a hat-trick against Brighton & Hove with one of the goals in the running for the club's Goal of the Month award.

Etete found the net against the Seagulls on January 15 and also provided an assist in that game, before netting his fifth of the season in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal on January 29.

The five other nominees for the monthly award are : Louie Barry (Aston Villa), Ethan Bristow (Reading), Rhys Hughes (Everton), Joe Hugill (Manchester United) and Jacob Wakeling (Leicester City).

The Premier League's Football Development Panel will decide the winner in due course.

Leeds United’s Sam Greenwood (September), Manchester City duo Cole Palmer (October) and Liam Delap (November) and Chelsea’s Lewis Bate (December) have won the award this season.
