Florian Wirtz named Bundesliga Player of the Month for December 2024!

16.01.2025

Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz has beaten off competition from Paul Nebel, Jamal Musiala, Mitchell Weiser, Joshua Kimmich and Nick Woltemade to take the Bundesliga Player of the Month award for December 2024.

The Player of the Month award was created by the DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga in 2018/19, in cooperation with the Bundesliga's official licensing partner, EA Sports.

The award is decided through a two-stage selection process that considers both the players' individual performance data and a vote by fans and experts.

For December, the selections were made based on performances on Matchdays 13, 14 and 15...

Winner

Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)

"We are hoping that Florian plays for as long as possible. We would love to have him next season until the 2026 World Cup, and we will gladly extend his contract,” said Fernando Carro, Leverkusen's CEO, ahead of their 5-1 win over Freiburg on Matchday 15. Wirtz showed once again just how important he is for the Bundesliga champions, winning a penalty (that he missed) before scoring and providing three assists – an astonishing output in a single game.

The Germany international was simply in sparkling form over the whole of December. He counted six goal involvements in total over the month, with a goal in both of his first two appearances before his spectacular finale against Freiburg. He managed more goal involvements than any other player in the Bundesliga in the month. It was also the first time Wirtz has recorded a goal involvement in three consecutive matches in his already distinguished career.
