Pain In The Arsenal’s 2021/22 End of Season Awards

Mitch Peotter

Player of the Season: Bukayo Saka – Easily Arsenal’s most consistent player week in and week out. Hit another level this season as he racked up 18 goals and assists in the Premier League, which is incredible for a player of his age. He is quickly developing into the guy for Arsenal, and hopefully, he will be exactly that for the Gunners over the next decade.

Signing of the season: Martin Ødegaard – He is such a joy to watch. He and Saka combine beautifully on the right-hand side of Arsenal’s attack to play some liquid football. His technique is incredible, and he is a very likely choice for Arsenal’s captain next season. He’s still only 23 and, if he keeps it up could very well be the player that Real Madrid thought he could be when they signed him at 15.

Goal of the Season: Gabriel Martinelli vs Newcastle (H) – Just an unreal goal that is not discussed even close to enough. Tomiyasu lifted an amazing ball to Gabi on the run that the Brazilan chips over Martin Dubravka on the volley. It is an insane technique to make that goal happen from both Martinelli and Tomiyasu.

Best Performance: Ben White vs Liverpool (A) Carabao Cup – When Arsenal went down to ten men at Anfield from Granit Xhaka’s challenge on Diogo Jota, I think most fans thought we were for sure done for. Instead, Arsenal dug deep and produced a gritty 0-0 draw on Merseyside. Ben White was the focal point of this defensive masterclass to hold Liverpool goalless while up a man in their own stadium.

LOL Moment of the Season: Ramsdale chanting with the Leicester supporters – While Ramsdale took a goal kick during the away match vs Leicester this season, the supporters behind him chanted at him “you’re [you know what] ah” has he kicked it and seeing him turn around and chant it with the fans was very entertaining and made fans get behind him even more than they already had at that point.
