Ovie Ejeheri, of Nigeria decent, who was born in London, has received formal recognition for his remarkable performances in November.
The midfielder, who is owned by Arsenal, was chosen as Chelmsford City’s Player of the Month after a streak of outstanding performances.
Since joining the Clarets on loan in July 2022, Ejeheri has posted an astounding ten clean sheets in sixteen games in the National League South.
The 19-year-old made five appearances in the sixth tier of English football last month, posting three shutouts against Bath City, Dover Athletic and Dartford FC, which was enough for him to win the Player of the Month accolade.
His loan deal at Chelmsford City expires in January 2023 and he would be returning to the Emirates Stadium if the deal is not extended.
Ejeheri officially joined the Arsenal Academy at the age of eight.
Other Arsenal players of Nigerian descent out on loan include Folarin Balogun, Arthur Okonkwo, Mazeed Ogungbo, Ryan Alebiosu, Miguel Azeez and Tim Akinola.
