Jamie Vardy has been named Serie A’s player of the month for November.
The former Leicester striker joined Cremonese at the start of the season and becomes the first English player to claim a player of the month award.
Vardy’s recognition comes despite Cremonese, who sit ninth in the Serie A table, losing all three matches during November, with the 38-year-old scoring his only goal in a 2-1 defeat by Juventus.
The fairytale hasn't ended, it's just entered a new chapter. 🔥

The award is voted for by fans in combination with statistical data and saw Vardy beat AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, Inter forward Lautaro Martinez, David Neres of Napoli, Genoa’s Leo Ostigard and Nicolo Zaniolo of Udinese.
Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo said on legaseriea.it: “Jamie Vardy is truly a player from another era. One of those talents who, with their history, their achievements and the indomitable spirit with which they live every match, best express the romance of football.
“His arrival at Cremonese, who were quick to seize the opportunity this summer, was greeted with great enthusiasm by all Serie A fans, and Vardy is repaying them with top-level performances, innate leadership and important goals.”
Vardy has started Cremonese’s last eight games and scored twice in their 3-1 victory over Bologna on December 1.
