According to La Liga, the 26-year-old defender secured the most votes to beat Raúl García de Haro of CA Osasuna and Sandro of UD Las Palmas for the award.
The Right to Dream Academy graduate has been a key figure for Vallecano this season, starring in all their La Liga matches for the new campaign.
The Ghanaian defender has scored once and provided an assist in six games, per Transfermarkt.
Abdul Mumin set for Black Stars call-up
Following his remarkable run of form in Spain, Abdul Mumin is expected to be named in Otto Addo's squad for the AFCON qualifier against Sudan next week.
He played his first two competitive matches for Ghana last month, featuring in the games against Angola and Niger in the absence of Fenerbahce star Alexander Djiku.
Abdul Mumin could maintain his place in Addo's team and could possibly start ahead of Djiku, who is just making a return to action after an injury.
The Black Stars will be aiming for a win against Sudan to revive their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying hopes after a nightmarish start.
