PEC Zwolle Striker Dylan Mbayo Earns Eredivisie Player of the Month Honors
Belgian forward Dylan Mbayo has been named the Eredivisie Player of the Month for November, solidifying his rising star status in the Dutch top flight.
The 23-year-old striker, on loan from Kortrijk and currently representing PEC Zwolle, was recognized for his outstanding performance based on a combination of Opta statistics and fan votes. Mbayo’s incredible month included two goals in a decisive 3-1 victory over Fortuna Sittard, along with three crucial assists that helped propel his team forward. His dazzling dribbling skills were on full display as he led the league with a remarkable 27 dribbles attempted and a successful 14.
Mbayo’s electrifying form saw him surpass stiff competition from other top performers. He edged out PSV’s American striker Ricardo Pepi and Feyenoord’s Algerian midfielder Anis Hadj Moussa, cementing his dominant presence in the league. This latest achievement marks a significant milestone for Mbayo, making him the first Belgian player to receive the prestigious award since Loïs Openda in May 2022.
A Stepping Stone to Greater Heights
Mbayo’s journey to this accomplishment is a testament to his talent and determination.
A product of Lokeren’s youth system, Mbayo honed his skills at La Gantoise and Kortrijk before joining PEC Zwolle on loan for the current season. His current contract with Kortrijk runs through June 2026.
His impressive performances in November were instrumental in helping PEC Zwolle climb out of the relegation zone. The team managed to secure a total of seven points out of a possible twelve, propelling them to 12th place in the standings with 15 points – a comfortable four points ahead of Sparta Rotterdam, currently occupying the first relegation spot.
PEC Zwolle Celebrates a Promising Future
For PEC Zwolle, Mbayo’s recognition is a beacon of hope and a testament to the club’s ability to nurture young talent. The Butcher’s Boys, as they are affectionately known by their fans, have consistently produced impressive players over the years, and Mbayo’s emergence is a continuation of this tradition.
As the season progresses, Mbayo’s focus will be on maintaining his exceptional form and helping PEC Zwolle achieve its goals. With his talent, dedication, and the club’s support, the sky is the limit for both the player and the team.
