Sporting Lagos has announced four nominees for their Player of the Month award for May, recognizing outstanding performances as the club continues its push for promotion.

The shortlisted players are Abraham Idakwo, Babatunde Akomolede, Jacob Aondona, and Thomson Gavi, all of whom made significant contributions to the team's campaign during the month under review.

Defenders Idakwo and Akomolede earned their nominations through stellar defensive performances, providing stability at the back for coach Shola Adegun's side throughout May.

Aondona, who has been a commanding presence in midfield, secured his place on the shortlist by effectively breaking up opposition play and maintaining tactical discipline. The midfielder also contributed an assist during the period under consideration.

Completing the list is Thomson Gavi, who delivered impressive performances throughout May, helping the team maintain their promotion push.

According to club sources, the winner of the monthly accolade will be announced later this week following a thorough evaluation process.

Sporting Lagos currently occupies third position on the Nigeria National League (NNL) Group B table with 31 points from 19 matches, keeping them firmly in contention for a spot in the NNL Super Eight playoffs, which will determine promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League.

The modest club, which has gained popularity for its community-focused approach, continues to push for top-flight football in what has been an impressive campaign in Nigeria's second division.
