English international Kane would score four and assist two in four league outings last month, the most goal contributions of any player in the division.
To win the award, he beat off competition from Matty Cash, Trevoh Chalobah, Kai Havertz, Dejan Kulusevski, Andrew Robertson, Bukayo Saka and Ivan Toney.

Arsenal played out four matches last month, which saw them beat Watford 3-2, Leicester City 2-0 and Aston Villa 1-0, whilst also losing to Liverpool by two goals to nil.
Given that both Chelsea and Liverpool went unbeaten during the month of March, the decision to give the award to Arteta is somewhat odd.
