Santi Cazorla is the EA SPORTS Player of the Month.

The Spain international has won our first award of the season by a landslide following a superb start to his Arsenal career. Santi caught the eye on his debut against Sunderland, creating the game's best chance for Olivier Giroud and going close to a goal himself on a number of occasions. The playmaker was at the heart of Arsenal's best attacking moments at Stoke City too before providing a goal and an assist at Liverpool. Abou Diaby also made a strong start to the campaign - finding his fitness and form in the Premier League. He was rewarded with second place in our poll, just ahead of Mikel Arteta.
