Serie A Player of the Month shortlist features Lazio, Inter and AC Milan stars | OneFootball

Davide Frattesi has been shortlisted for September's Serie A Player of the Month after a flying start at Lazio, scoring in each of the first three matchdays. The 27-year-old returned to his original club in the summer on loan with an option to buy from Inter Milan, and his form has helped Lazio share the summit with Roma and Inter.

According to The Laziali, Roma striker Donyell Malen also makes the six-man list. He has six goals in five league fixtures.

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez has four goals in as many Serie A games. His first brace sparked a come-from-behind win over Napoli, and his second salvaged a point in last weekend's top-of-the-table meeting with Roma.

Despite the exit of Massimiliano Allegri, Adrien Rabiot remains a central figure for AC Milan under Ruben Amorim and has been nominated after scoring a couple of goals.

Daniel Maldini struggled to make an impact at Lazio in the second half of last season under Maurizio Sarri, but has rediscovered his best in Cagliari. Fabio Pisacane has used him in his natural role as a second striker, and he already has three important goals, earning a call-up to Roberto Mancini's Italy.

High-flying Frosinone are represented by Giorgi Kvernadze. While Antonio Raimondo has drawn headlines, the 23-year-old winger got the nod after contributing three goals and one assist.
