Two Arsenal players have been nominated for Premier League Player Of The Year award

Arsenal fans have every reason to be excited as two of their star players have been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Season award for the 2022/23 season. Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka have had a fantastic season so far, contributing immensely to Arsenal’s success in the Premier League.

Martin Ødegaard, who joined Arsenal from Real Madrid on a permanent deal some time back, has been a revelation for the Gunners this season. The Norwegian midfielder has scored 15 goals and provided 7 assists in the Premier League this season, making him one of the most productive players in the league. Ødegaard’s creativity and vision have been crucial for Arsenal, as he has been able to unlock defences with his incisive passes and intelligent movement.

Bukayo Saka, on the other hand, has been a consistent performer for Arsenal this season. The young winger has scored 13 goals and provided 11 assists in the Premier League this season, making him one of the most exciting prospects in English football. Saka’s pace and trickery on the ball have been a nightmare for defenders this season, as he has been able to create chances for himself and his teammates with ease.

Arsenal’s impressive form this season has put them in a title race, as they are currently second on the 2022/23 Premier League table with 81 points after 36 games. However, they are closely following first-placed Manchester City which has 85 points plus one game in hand. The performances of Ødegaard and Saka have been instrumental in Arsenal’s success this season, and their nominations for the Premier League Player of the Season award are well-deserved.

The Premier League Player of the Season award is one of the most prestigious individual awards in English football, and winning it would be a huge honour for both Ødegaard and Saka. However, they face stiff competition from other top players in the league.

Regardless of whether they win the award or not, Ødegaard and Saka have already established themselves as key players for Arsenal this season. Their performances have been a joy to watch for Arsenal fans, and they will be hoping that they can continue their impressive form in the remaining games of the season. With Ødegaard’s creativity and Saka’s pace and trickery, Arsenal have a real chance of winning the Premier League title this season.
