Mustapha Sangaré is the division's player of the month — 8.40
A club's paper reports this as one of its own being honoured. On this page it is what it actually is: a verdict on everybody who played, and it went to a Levski man on 8.40 with 12 goal contributions.

Hendrik Bonmann turns Spartak Moscow down
“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Akram Bouras agrees terms with JS Kabylie
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Levski people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Cherno More
Nikolay Zlatev was marked 7.46 and had a hand in 5 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

The division’s top provider is Mustapha Sangaré — 8.40
5 assists across the month from a Levski player marked 8.40. Somebody has to open the door before anybody walks through it, and nobody in the league opened more.

Ante Aralica up among the month's scorers
A productive month at Lokomotiv Sofia — 6 goals from 5 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Still scoring: Samuel Kalu
5 in 5 for Botev Plovdiv. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

Valdu Té keeps the pressure on
6 goals in 5 appearances for Dobrudzha leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Everton Bala is right behind him
5 goals in 5 appearances for Levski, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.
