Sunderland's Jan Kirchhoff wins April Premier League award

By , Football League Editor |
Sunderland midfielder Jan Kirchhoff is named the PFA Fans' Player of the Month for April in the Premier League.

Sunderland midfielder Jan Kirchhoff has been named the PFA Fans' Player of the Month for April in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old, who moved to the Stadium of Light in January from Bayern Munich, played 420 minutes out of a possible 450 in the holding-midfield role as Sunderland kept three clean sheets in six matches to help their hopes of escaping the drop.

The German said: "I would like to thank the supporters, who have been unbelievable since I arrived at Sunderland - they are simply amazing. Also my thanks go to my teammates, without them it would not have been possible to win this award.

"This is a very special football club and I am honoured to accept the award on behalf of everyone."

Kirchhoff saw off competition from Newcastle United winger Andros Townsend and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge to win the award.
