The Gunners had a brilliant top-flight campaign last term. They went head-to-head with Manchester City and finished just two points behind.

William Saliba was a key player in the heart of the backline and he has been nominated for the Ballon d'Or for his defensive contributions.

Declan Rice was likewise a revelation in the centre of the park. He brought more control to the proceedings with his superb passing range.

He has also made the cut alongside Martin Odegaard , whose form was brilliant during the second half of the previous campaign.

Bukayo Saka is the final Arsenal name on the 30-man shortlist. The Gunners graduate managed the most goal contributions.

Arsenal missed out on the title despite a strong showing. They will be aiming to go all the way to lift the Premier League trophy this term.
