A fantastic few weeks for Carlos Tevez has been capped with the news that he has been named as Barclays Player of the Month for December.

The Argentinian striker has been in prolific form, notching eight goals in seven appearances, including two in each game against Bolton and Wolves.

He’s now found the target a dozen times since joining the Blues and is a cult favourite with City fans, who also voted for him as City’s Etihad Player of the Month over the same period.

Carlos was presented with the award at a snowy Carrington training ground on Friday, and he said: “I’m delighted to win the award, but I want to give credit to my team-mates for all their help. It’s not just down to me - without them I would not get my chances to score, and it’s important that we keep this going with some important games coming up.”
