Player of the month for August
The Barclaycard Awards Panel, which decides the winner, is made up of football's governing bodies, the media and the fans.

Wiltord has scored four goals in Arsenal's three Premiership games during August, helping The Gunners get off to a good start in the defence of their Premiership title.

"It is usually his international strike partner Thierry Henry that grabs the headlines, but Wiltord's start of season form has been electric," a panel statement read.

"His skill on the ball and pace when running at defenders make him a real threat to opposition sides and if his goal scoring exploits continue he must be an early contender for the Barclaycard Golden Boot."
