The Premier League Player of the Month Award is an award given to the best player in the English Premier League in a given month. This award has existed since the 1994/95 season and several top players have won the award. Some have even had the chance to win the prestigious award multiple times.

Another star in the Premier League who has never won an award is Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean striker has played for Arsenal and Manchester United in the English Premier League, but he did not win the award once before leaving the Red Devils.
One of the biggest names on this list that will surprise football stars the most is Didier Drogba. The Chelsea legend helped the Blues dominate the English Premier League under Jose Mourinho. However, he failed to win the Premier League Player of the Month award before leaving the club.
Current Chelsea star N'Golo Kante and Manchester City forward Riyad Mahrez are other Premier League stars who have played in the league for a long time but have yet to win any awards.
