LaLiga: Yassir Zabiri nominated for the U23 Player of the Month award

Yassir Zabiri is among the five players nominated for the U23 Player of the Month award in LaLiga for August. The Moroccan forward from Racing Santander is competing alongside Arda Güler, Xavi Espart, Miguel Sierra, and Javi Hernández.

This nomination particularly recognizes his hat-trick scored against Elche on August 28, during the third matchday of the Spanish league. In his first start in LaLiga, Zabiri found the back of the net in the 15th, 21st, and 36th minutes, allowing Racing to take a decisive lead by halftime.

Thanks to his three goals, the Santander club ultimately won with a score of 3-2, marking their first victory since returning to the Spanish top flight. The Moroccan now has three goals in the league since the start of the season.

This nomination rewards Zabiri’s impressive debut with Racing Santander. The young forward will now aim to outpace his four competitors to secure this individual honor.
