Two Arsenal players currently leading in two major Premier League statistics

In the ongoing 2023/24 Premier League season, Arsenal boasts two standout performers who are currently leading in key statistical categories, showcasing their prowess on the field. Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice have emerged as front-runners in goal-scoring and assists, respectively, setting the standard in the Premier League.

Bukayo Saka’s stellar form has seen him net an impressive total of 7 goals in the Premier League in 2024, a feat that places him at the top of the goal-scoring charts ahead of all other players in the league for this year. Saka’s clinical finishing and attacking flair have been instrumental in Arsenal’s campaign, contributing significantly to the team’s success and their position in the league standings.

On the other hand, Declan Rice has been a creative force for Arsenal, demonstrating his playmaking abilities by providing 4 assists in the Premier League in 2024. Rice’s vision, passing accuracy, and ability to set up scoring opportunities make him a valuable asset in the Gunners’ midfield, with no other player in the league surpassing his tally of assists.

As Arsenal sits comfortably in the 3rd position on the Premier League table with 58 points accumulated from 26 matches, the exceptional performances of Saka and Rice have undoubtedly played a crucial role in the team’s success. Their recent commanding 4-1 victory over Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium showcased the team’s offensive prowess and tactical acumen, with Saka and Rice making significant contributions to the win.
