Arsenal boast a quintet of nominees for the upcoming 2022 London Football Awards, which will take place on March 3 at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm.
After playing his part in England’s run to the Euro 2020 final and going from strength to strength at Arsenal, Bukayo Saka will once again be up for the Men’s Young Player of the Year.
The 20-year-old has been nominated alongside fellow Premier League stars Conor Gallagher, Oliver Skipp and Tyrick Mitchell, with Fulham’s Fabio Carvalho also representing the EFL in the category.
Mikel Arteta‘s number one Aaron Ramsdale, meanwhile, will contest the Goalkeeper of the Year award alongside Edouard Mendy, Lukasz Fabianski, Hugo Lloris and Dean Bouzanis.
On the women’s side of the game, Arsenal boast a trio of nominees for the WSL Player of the Year in Leah Williamson, Kim Little and Katie McCabe, with Sam Kerr and MacKenzie Arnold also up for the prize.
Arsenal saw Saka scoop the Men’s Young Player of the Year in last year’s awards, while Vivianne Miedema won the Women’s Young Player of the Year in 2018-19 and 2019-20.
