John Arne Riise has been voted the best left-back in Europe for October by football journalists writing for leading football magazines.
The Norway international and Liverpool player has been in sensational form during the past month, and that led to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Kicker and A Bola all recognising Riise as the best left-sided defender in Europe for the month of October.
The Anfield outfit have benefited immensely from the Norwegian’s fine performances as he grabbed the headlines with a brilliant goal against reigning Premiership champions Manchester United in the recent top-of-the-table clash.
Riise beat off the other candidate’s for the award as Robert Carlos (Real Madrid), Placente (Bayer Leverkusen), Candela (Roma) and Paolo Maldini (Milan) were all regarded as second best behind The Reds new signing for this season.
