Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Max Dowman have received awards from the Premier League.

The two Arsenal academy graduates are at different stages of their careers.

Saka broke into the first team years ago and is now one of the leaders of the squad. Dowman, on the other hand, has only played a handful of games for the senior side.

Both players are fan favourites at the Emirates, and their achievements have been recognised now.

Bukayo Saka and Max Dowman receive awards from the Premier League

Bukayo Saka has been one of the best players in the Premier League for a few years now.

The England international made his top-flight debut on New Year’s Day in 2019. He came on as a substitute in a win against Fulham.

Since then, Saka has made 200 appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal, and on his landmark day, he scored a goal as well.

By doing so, Saka joined Thierry Henry as the only Arsenal players to score on their 200th appearance in the English top flight.

Recognising the brilliant achievement, the Premier League sent an award to Saka this week, ahead of Arsenal’s game against Fulham.

Alongside him, Max Dowman also received an award for making his debut earlier in the season. He is the second youngest player in history to make an appearance in the league.

Arsenal posted pictures of the two players posing with their awards. Check them out below.

Another Arsenal player won a Premier League award this week

Saka and Dowman weren’t the only players walking around with awards at the Sobha Realty Training Centre this week.

Summer signing Martin Zubimendi received a trophy as well.

The Spaniard won the Premier League Goal of the Month award for his stunning strike against Nottingham Forest.

Zubimendi was not brought in to score screamers like that, but if he can do that a few more times this season, Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League will increase.
