He was announced player of the month on the club's official website after receiving the most votes from fans of the club.
The 24-year-old is ranked third for interceptions made this season and he is among the top 20 players to win the most ground duels in Ligue 1.
The JMG Academy graduate joined Rennais in January 2024 from Clermont Foot and has since been an integral member of the team.
Seidu finds form at the right time
The versatile defender's form is good news for the Black Stars who are hoping to bounce back from the poor start to their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in October.
Seidu's maiden strike for the Black Stars is the only goal Ghana has netted in the qualifiers, coming against Niger in Morocco, per ESPN.
The defender was Ghana's best player in the games against Angola and Niger last month and will be hoping to continue with his decent run.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars have to beat Sudan in October's double header to enhance their chances of qualifying for the tournament in Morocco next year.
