The 23-year-old finished top in an online fans’ poll which also included Wolves team-mate Diogo Jota.

Bonatini, who scored five goals over the course of the month, earned 56 per cent of the votes cast by supporters across the country.

Bolton striker Sammy Ameobi finished a distant second with 17 per cent, with Cardiff’s Bruno Manga third after bagging 10 per cent.

Jota, another player who has been key to Wolves’s superb early season form, came fourth with seven per cent, ahead of QPR’s Massimo Luongo and Sunderland’s Lewis Grabban.

Wolves beat Villa, Preston and Norwich over the course of the month, with Bonatini scoring in each game.

Bonatini, who is the division’s top scorer with ten goals, also netted in their only set-back, a 2-1 defeat at QPR.
