# West Ham United: Fans react as Jesse Lingard picks up POTM award for April

**Flocking to an [official club post](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1393144111935467520), plenty of West Ham United fans have shown no shortage of reaction after loanee sensation Jesse Lingard picked up the [Premier League Player of the Month](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/may/14-may/west-ham-united-star-jesse-lingard-wins-ea-sports-premier-league) award for April.**

Voted the English top flight’s best player for last month, the midfielder continued his fine form since joining the Irons in what was a productive few weeks for him individually.

The 28-year-old was recognised by Premier League supporters for his brilliant performances during the month of April, which saw him bag an impressive [four goals and one assist in just four matches](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/may/14-may/west-ham-united-star-jesse-lingard-wins-ea-sports-premier-league).

Many West Ham fans were understandably excited over the announcement – with some slightly baffled by the decision given that it arguably wasn’t his best month [compared to February and March](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109000/MatchStatistics/Jesse-Lingard).
