Lianne Sanderson is Nationwide Player of the Month for January

Comments about Sanderson who turned 18 on Friday, and plays for Arsenal and the Under-19 National Team.

Arsenal Manager Vic Akers
"Lianne has made an outstanding contribution to our game in the first half of the season and has been fantastic to work with. Her strength and knowledge of the game coupled with the way she applies herself makes her a real threat going forward and I am positive that she will be a major player for both Arsenal and England in the next ten years."

Nationwide's Chris Hull
"Lianne has been in scintillating form during January and her goals have been a key factor in her side's success. Lianne's strikes have helped to take Arsenal back to the top of the table and into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. In a side that includes top international strikers Kelly Smith and Julie Fleeting, teenager Lianne has established a regular place in the Arsenal line-up this season as well as being an important member of the England Under-19 team.”
