Araujo continues collecting awards at Liverpool

The on-loan defender won Liverpool's player of the month for October and has two goals and an assist in 14 appearances.

Ronald Araujo has been named Liverpool's player of the month for October, adding to his earlier Premier League player of the day award from matchday 8 when he starred in the 2-0 win over Brighton. The Uruguay international, on loan from Barcelona until the end of the season with a €55 million purchase option, has impressed at Anfield with two goals and an assist in 14 games, primarily playing as a right-back.

Araujo expressed his gratitude after receiving the award: "I feel deeply grateful for the affection shown to me from the moment I arrived at the club. They made me feel like one of them and I tried to repay them with hard work, commitment, giving my best in every training session and every match."

Liverpool are reportedly keen to make the move permanent, though Araujo's agent recently suggested it is too early to discuss his future. The defender will next feature for Uruguay in friendlies against Argentina and the Dominican Republic during the international break.
