Sheffield Wednesday forward Lucas Joao has been named PFA Fans' Player of the Month for November in the Sky Bet Championship.
The 22-year-old Portugal international joined the Owls from Nacional in the summer on a four-year contract, and has scored seven goals in total as Wednesday find themselves in seventh place in the table.
Joao, who scored three goals in four games in November, saw off competition from Derby's Andreas Weimann and Leeds' Alex Mowatt.
Every month, throughout the English football season, fans will have the opportunity to vote on skysports.com for who they think has been the best player in the Barclays Premier League, Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League One and Sky Bet League Two, after Sky Sports teamed up with the PFA to be the digital platform for the awards.
Before the vote opens each month, an expert panel produce a shortlist of contenders. Fans are then able to vote for the player they think deserves the award.
The panel includes Sky Sports football pundits Paul Merson, Ian Holloway and Peter Beagrie.
That trio are then joined by Mike Riley, general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials, and Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters Federation, as well as the winning fan from each month.
The winning fans, who will take their places on next month's shortlisting panel and make the awards to players, will be announced in due course.
