Inter transfer target Darwin Nunez has been awarded the player of the month award from the Portuguese league after a stunning month for Benfica, according to a report in the Portuguese media.

As has been reported on the Twitter account of the Liga Portugal, the young Uruguayan has been the best player in the division this month and is continuing to make a serious name for himself.

The youngster who was born in 1999 has scored six goals in the first eight matches of the season including the Champions League fixtures.

He scored twice against Barcelona in a recent 3-0 victory in the Champions League that Benfica recorded at home over the Catalan club.
