Jan Kirchhoff has been voted PFA Fans' Player of the Month for April in the Premier League
Jan Kirchhoff, Fernando Forestieri, JJ Hooper and Danny Hylton have been named the PFA Fans' Players of the Month for April.

Sunderland boosted their survival hopes in April, earning six points from their five matches, and Kirchhoff was a key part of Sam Allardyce's side.

The 25-year-old, who moved to the Stadium of Light in January from Bayern Munich, played 420 minutes out of a possible 450 in the holding midfield role as Sunderland kept three clean sheets.

Kirchhoff saw off competition from Newcastle winger Andros Townsend and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge to win the award.

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 Premier League, Sky Bet Championship and Leagues One and 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 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.

Well done to Jan, and the fans who voted for him, its an award he richly deserves, he has made a tremendous difference to our midfield. Never expected to be saying that after his debut.

 

Little things please.....

 

One of the best defenders I have ever seen at Sunderland, so composed and solid, please stay Jan.

 

Plays in midfield you goon!
