Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze has been nominated for Fulham’s Goal of the Month award for January 2026, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The Cottagers have released a shortlist featuring 13 goals in contention for the monthly prize, with the Nigeria international’s strike against Brighton & Hove Albion earning a place among the nominees.
Chukwueze’s goal came in his first appearance following international duty with the Super Eagles at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations as Fulham staged a comeback to secure a 2-1 victory over the Seagulls at Craven Cottage.
With 18 minutes remaining, the winger drew Fulham level with a composed and clinical finish after latching onto a sublime pass from Joachim Andersen.
In his quest to claim the award, Chukwueze faces competition from eight other Fulham players, including Tom Cairney, Jade Bradley, Harrison Reed, Aaron Loupalo-Bi, Kevin, Farhaan Ali Wahid and Harry Wilson, who leads the field with four nominations.
A deadline-day arrival from AC Milan last summer, Chukwueze has made an immediate impact in the Premier League, registering seven goal involvements in 11 appearances since joining the club.
