Ghana winger Solomon Asante has been nominated for the USL Player of the Month for August.

The diminutive wideman has been a key cog for the Arizona-based side since joining last year.

Asante scored in each of every game of the month including bagging a hat-trick against Orange County in a seven-goal thriller.

The former Berekum Chelsea is competing with Jose Barril of OKC Energy FC, Thomas Enevoldsen of Orange County SC, Cameron Lancaster of Louisville City FC and Nashville SC’s Matt Pickens.

He has netted 13 goals in 26 appearances for the Didier Drogba-owned outfit.
