Gabriel and Declan Rice have both been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Season award, with Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya also making the cut.
Gabriel and Rice have undoubtedly been the two best players at Arsenal this season, and the winner should be between those two.
🏆 The Premier League Player of the Season award should be given to ____________
But it is also great to see the Arsenal goalkeeper also being recognised for his efforts this season, with the Spaniard having just won his third successive Golden Glove award.
Bruno Fernandes has already won the FWA Footballer of the Year award, but now it is surely time for one of the Gunners’ stars to win the Premier League award.
Gabriel Magalhaes, Declan Rice and David Raya are nominated for Player of the Season
Gabriel Magalhaes, Declan Rice and David Raya have all been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Season award.
Gabriel has been the best defender in Europe this season, being a serious threat in both penalty boxes for the Gunners.
The Gunners have conceded fewer goals than any other team in the Premier League or Champions League this term, and that is largely down to the Brazilian.
Meanwhile, Rice can also be considered the best midfielder in Europe this season and the driving force behind Arsenal’s success this campaign.
There has been a huge debate around whether Rice or Fernandes has been the better player this season, but the way the Arsenal man has carried his team surely gives him the edge.
👀 Fill in the blank: Arsenal are taking _ points from the final two Premier League matches…
Fernandes has helped transform Manchester United’s fortunes this term, but without Rice in the team, it is questionable whether the Gunners would be top of the Premier League table.
Raya is the third Arsenal player on the list, and the Spanish goalkeeper is certainly an outside contender to win the award.
The goalkeeper has pulled off some magnificent saves this season and is currently on 18 clean sheets for the season, making him the Golden Glove winner again.
Erling Haaland, Antoine Semenyo, Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Thiago also join the Arsenal trio and Fernandes on the list of nominees.
