Despite a recent setback that has kept him out of action due to a muscle ailment, the Danish dynamo's incredible scoring rampage earned him this prestigious award.
Before sustaining a muscle injury that has kept him out of their past two league games, the Danish striker was in scorching form in recent weeks, scoring in all six of his prior Premier League adventures.
Speaking on his recent form, Hojlund expressed his elation, saying, as reported by Daily Mail, "I'm very happy. Of course, it's a big privilege to get this award, especially with the other contenders who were nominated as well."
He further elaborated on his approach, stating, "I always like to say I have the confidence before I go into the game. Of course, you get a little bit more momentum going into the game when you've scored."
Meanwhile, across London, Mikel Arteta basks in the glory of being named the Manager of the Month following Arsenal's flawless February performance.
The Gunners' impeccable run, under Arteta's astute guidance, has seen them close the gap at the top of the Premier League table.
Arsenal's excellent run of form in February has helped the Gunners close the gap between them, Liverpool and Man City at the top of the Premier League table to just two points.
Arteta, reflecting on Arsenal's recent success, emphasized, "It's great because it shows the quality and the consistency that the team is showing."
He continued, highlighting the team's defensive prowess, "The way that we have scored those goals as well, not only the manner but as well the personnel are a really positive thing to see.
Then there's the fact that we are conceding very little defensively, so those ingredients together are very powerful to get results and consistency and we want more."
The Gunners boss, who has now claimed the Manager of the Month title on seven occasions since 2019, remains focused on pushing Arsenal even higher in the league standings.
