Allen flattered at monthly award
Joe Allen today told Liverpoolfc.com of his delight after being named the Standard Chartered Player of the Month for August.
The summer signing received 38 per cent of the votes in our online poll to see off 17-year-old Raheem Sterling (26 per cent) and Luis Suarez (18 per cent).
He was presented with a trophy and bottle of champagne at Melwood by manager Brendan Rodgers.
"It's very flattering," Allen told the official website. "I've been welcomed here with open arms and settled really well into the dressing room and the city. Obviously this is a good way to start my career here.
"The thing I'm most pleased about is the way that I've gelled with my teammates.
"We seemed to be on the same wavelength straight away, which is great because as a new player coming into the team you worry that might take time and it might take time for me to find my feet.
"Luckily, things have gone well for me personally and I'm really enjoying being part of this football team."
Every month you'll get the chance to vote for the Standard Chartered Player of the Month - and the winner will be presented with a trophy courtesy of our main club sponsor.
