Didier Drogba is Major League Soccer's player of the month for September.

The Montreal striker had seven goals and an assist in five starts for the month, helping the Impact to a team-record six-game unbeaten streak.

It was the former Chelsea star's first full month in the league.

He was named player of the week twice last month.
