Christian Pulisic is the most recent winner.

The Serie A Player of the Month, officially known as the EA Sports FC Player of the Month for sponsorship reasons,[1] is an association football award that recognises the best player each month in Serie A, the top tier of the Italian football league system. The winner is chosen by an online public vote, in which voters choose from five nominees.[2] The nominees are chosen through analysis by data tracking software, which consider statistical data, positional data and the contribution to the technical and physical efficiency of the team.[2]

The first award was assigned to Fiorentina player Franck Ribéry for his performances in September 2019. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Rafael Leão have won the award a record three times each; they are also the only two players to win the award both in consecutive months and multiple times in the same season. Napoli players have won the award a record eight times, and they alongside Atalanta are the only clubs to have players win the award in consecutive months. Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Paulo Dybala are the only players to win the award with two different teams: Inter Milan and AC Milan for the former, Juventus and Roma for the latter.[3]

Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly and Kim Min-jae are the only defenders to win the award, which has been given to 11 midfielders and 25 forwards. It has also been given to foreign players 34 times; the most represented foreign country is Argentina (six titles), followed by Portugal (five), Georgia and Serbia (three each). The most recent winner is Milan's Christian Pulisic, who won it for his performances in December 2023.[3]
