Goals Scored - 16

The Frenchman was on song last month which helped him to stay put at the 5th position among the top contenders. Thanks to his form, Sevilla are right on the fringes of the last Champions League spot. They are currently 5th, a point behind 4th-placed Getafe with 7 games remaining.

Ben Yedder started the month with a goal against SD Huesca, but it was in vain as his team succumbed to a 2-1 away defeat. The Frenchman scored a brilliant hat-trick in the following game at home against Real Sociedad and helped Seville win 5-2. He then scored the only goal of the game in a crunch away tie against Espanyol. However, Yedder has not scored in the three games since - a defeat to Valencia and wins against Alaves and Real Valladolid.

The Frenchman has 16 goals from 28 games in La Liga so far and has also registered 7 assists. He is averaging a goal every 137 minutes played and has a 57% shot accuracy in La Liga this season.
